Blood-gas properties of plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2006Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is one of the blind subterranean mole rats that spend their life solely underground in sealed burrows. It is one of the special species of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. In their burrows, oxygen is low and carbon dioxide is high and their contents fluctuate with the change of seasons, soil types, rain and depth of burrows.

Characterization and Inhibitor Screening of Plateau Zokor Lactate Dehydrogenase C4
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2016Lactate dehydrogenase C4 (LDH-C4) is considered to be a target protein for the development of contraceptives. In this work, the characterization of plateau zokor LDH-C4 and the screening of a series of N-substituted oxamic acids as inhibitors against zokor LDH-C4 were reported.

Since the first description of the Bergmann's rule, body size dines along environmental gradients have been examined in a wide variety of taxa. Broad support for Bergmann's rule has been found for endotherms and even ectotherms; many species, however, do not follow Bergmann's rule or the converse to Bergmann's rule.

Predicted structural change in erythropoietin of plateau zokors — Adaptation to high altitude
Gene, 2012Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone, expressed mainly in fetus liver and adult kidneys. EPO plays an important role in enhancing red blood cell formation in bone marrow under hypoxia. Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi), an subterranean burrowing endemic rodent inhabiting areas of 2 800-4 200 m above sea level on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is a ...

Effect of plateau zokor on soil carbon and nitrogen concentrations of alpine meadows
CATENA, 2021Abstract Small subterranean mammals cause extensive disturbance of grasslands by producing many mounds in the grasslands. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a small subterranean mammal, plateau zokor (Myospalax fontanierii), on soil carbon and nitrogen concentrations in alpine meadows. In this study, the disturbance effect by plateau zokor on

Diet selection in overwinter caches of plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi)
Acta Theriologica, 2013Subterranean herbivores affect the plant community by plant consumption and burrowing activities. However, diet selection of subterranean herbivores has not been studied in detail in complex natural fields, mainly for lack of an accurate method to determine diet species, frequency, and biomass.

Seasonal sleep-wake patterns of plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative PhysiologyPlateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi), endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), are solitary subterranean rodents that spend their lifespan within underground burrows. Although the activity rhythms of the plateau zokors have been slightly documented, their sleep-wake patterns and seasonal variations remain unclear.

AbstractThe evolutionary outcomes of high elevation adaptation have been extensively described. However, whether widely distributed high elevation endemic animals adopt uniform mechanisms during adaptation to different elevational environments remains unknown, especially with respect to extreme high elevation environments.

Examining object recognition and object-in-Place memory in plateau zokors, Eospalax baileyi
Behavioural Processes, 2018Recognition memory is important for the survival and fitness of subterranean rodents due to the barren underground conditions that require avoiding the burden of higher energy costs or possible conflict with conspecifics. Our study aims to examine the object and object/place recognition memories in plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi) and test whether ...

In the present study, the composition and content of pulmonary surfactant (PS) were analyzed to explore the hypoxia adaptation mechanism in plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae). 36 plateau zokors and plateau pikas were trapped alive at the Laji Mountain in Guide County, Qinghai Province (at the altitude of about 3 ...
