Gut region influences the diversity and interactions of bacterial communities in pikas (Ochotona curzoniae and Ochotona daurica)

, 2017
The mammalian microbial communities in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) play important roles in host nutrition and health. However, we still lack an understanding of how these communities are organized across GIT in natural environments.

Consequences of plateau pika disturbance on plant-soil carbon and nitrogen in alpine meadows

Frontiers in Plant Science
The presence of burrowing mammals can have extensive effects on plants and soils, creating bare soil patches in alpine meadows and potentially altering plant-soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). This study focuses on the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to

Moderate plateau pika activity had minor effect on ecosystem C and N in alpine grasslands

Global Ecology and Conservation
Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae, hereafter pika) is an ecosystem engineer on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), whose activity exerts a profound effect on the ecosystem nutrient cycle of alpine grasslands.

Effects of Qinghai-Tibetan Railway on the Genetic Differentiation of Plateau Pika (Ochotona curzoniae) Based on Cytochrome b Sequences

, 2012
Plateau pika (Ochotonidae: Ochotona curzoniae) is widespread in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). It is endemic to QTP and restricted to high altitude area, ranging from 3,000 to 5,200 m above sea level. In this study, I examined the genetic structure of O.
