Surviving a Drought: Population Dynamics of \u3ci\u3eOchotona pallasi pricei\u3c/i\u3e in a Dry Steppe, Gobi Altai, Mongolia [PDF]
, 2007 Two distinct life history traits are described from the genus Ochotona, the group of “burrowing” species exhibiting high but fluctuating population densities and the “non-burrowing” species exhibiting relatively stable low population densities.

Social and ecological influences on dispersal and philopatry in the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 1998 Benefits and costs of dispersal and philopatry of the social plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) were studied on the Tibetan plateau for 3 years. Although short-lived, plateau pikas live in cohesive family groups that occupy burrow systems in sedge meadow habitat Most (57.8%) plateau pikas were philopatric, and dispersal movements were extremely ...

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

Transmission ecosystems of Echinococcus multilocularis in China and Central Asia [PDF]
, 2017 From continental to regional scales, the zoonosis alveolar echinococcosis (AE) (caused by Echinococcus multilocularis) forms discrete patches of endemicity within which transmission hotspots of much larger prevalence may occur.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016 The metacestode of Echinococcus shiquicus has been recorded previously in the lung and liver of its intermediate host, the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), but there is limited information regarding other organ sites. There is also limited evidence of intra-specific genetic variation within E. shiquicus.

Moderate plateau pika activity had minor effect on ecosystem C and N in alpine grasslands
Global Ecology and ConservationPlateau 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.
