The Effect of Structure Building Small Mammals in a Shifting Arctic Landscape

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We examined the effects of structure builders on biogeochemical cycling under future arctic tundra conditions. We found that structures influence nutrient availability and vegetation communities differently between contemporary and future conditions.

Simulation and response mechanism of potential geographical distribution of plateau pika Ochotona curzoniae under climate change

Global Ecology and Conservation
With global warming, climate change had significant impacts on the distribution of species and their habitats. As one of the keystone species of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), the plateau pika Ochotona curzoniae plays a vital role in the alpine ...

Seasonal Variation in the Diversity of the Gut Microbiota of Short‐Faced Moles Reveals the Associations of Climatic Factors on the Gut Microbiota of Subterranean Mammals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Significant seasonal differences in the diversity of the gut microbiota of the short‐faced moles. Compared to spring, the diversity and function of gut microbiota in summer and autumn are more similar to each other. Climatic factors are found to have a significant association with the seasonal variation of the gut microbiota of short‐faced moles ...

Keystone effects of prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) on grassland birds: Current knowledge and future directions

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
This article reviews the literature on how prairie dogs as keystone species affect grassland birds, an imperiled avian community. We tested hypotheses and synthesized conclusions from the literature, and then we identified key knowledge gaps to be filled with future work.

Multitrophic Diversity of the Biotic Community Drives Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Alpine Grasslands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
Our results indicated that primary producers, primary consumers, and soil decomposers were crucial trophic groups for maintaining ecosystem functionality, collectively driving changes in ecosystem multifunctionality. Additionally, abiotic factors such as altitude and pH influenced ecosystem multifunctionality.

Effect of bioturbation by plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) on soil carbon and nitrogen stocks in alpine meadows

Global Ecology and Conservation
The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a predominant small burrowing herbivore that plays a vital role within the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Diet of Andean Leaf‐Eared Mice (Phyllotis) Living at Extreme Elevations on Atacama Volcanoes: Insights From Metagenomics, DNA Metabarcoding, and Stable Isotopes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
On the flanks of > 6000 m Andean volcanoes that tower over the Atacama Desert, leaf‐eared mice (Phyllotis vaccarum) live at extreme elevations that surpass known vegetation limits. We used a combination of metagenomics, DNA metabarcoding, and stable isotope analyses to investigate the diet of mice living in these extreme environments.
