Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Extensive research confirms that abiotic stressors like predation risk can profoundly affect animal condition. However, there is a lack of experimental research assessing the suite of physiological responses to risk.

The burying and grazing effects of plateau pika on alpine grassland are small: a pilot study in a semiarid basin on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 There is considerable controversy about the effects of plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae, hereafter pika) on alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). On the one hand, pika is considered a keystone species.

Agromyces badenianii sp. nov., isolated from plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020 Two aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated MF30-AT and MF845, were isolated from the intestinal contents of plateau pika collected from the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Optimal growth of these two strains was observed under aerobic conditions at pH 7.0 and 28 °C. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of

The Utilization of Artificial Burrows by Plateau Pikas Under Rapid Vegetation Restoration. [PDF]
Ecol EvolVegetation changes often elicit adaptive responses in herbivores. Plateau pikas do not prefer to cope with rapid vegetation changes by adjusting the use of spatial resources. Instead, burrow accessibility and scent‐marking potential—driven by morphological preferences—are the primary determinants shaping their spatial resource selection.

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns of Plateau Foxes and Their Lagomorph Prey in Baqing County, Tibet. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study suggests pronounced spatiotemporal niche differentiation as a mechanism facilitating two mesocarnivores' coexistence, and enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sympatric coexistence on the Tibetan Plateau. ABSTRACT Predation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal ...

Spatiotemporal Coupling Relationship Between Plateau Pika Disturbance and Alpine Meadow Degradation
Shuitu baochi tongbao, 2023 [Objective] Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a key species in the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The coupling relationship between pika activity and meadow degradation was analyzed in order to further improve the observation ...
