EFFECTS OF PLATEAU ZOKORS (MYOSPALAX FONTANIERII ) ON PLANT COMMUNITY AND SOIL IN AN ALPINE MEADOW [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mammalogy, 2003
Effects of plateau zokors (Myospalax fontanierii) on seasonal above- and belowground plant biomass, plant species diversity, and soil moisture and organic matter were examined at an alpine meadow site in Qinghai Province, People's Republic of China.

Soil-faunal responses differ among plateau zokor mounds with contrasting creation times and recovery durations in alpine meadows

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi) are ecosystem engineers whose mound creation alters soil structure and microenvironmental conditions in alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau.

Variants of Epas1 contribute to hypoxia adaptation in the subterranean rodents Eospalax and Spalax

open access: yesLife Science Alliance
Subterranean rodents from China and Israel reveal convergent EPAS1 adaptation to hypoxia environments. Chinese zokors harbor a stabilizing T480S variant, whereas blind mole rats in Israel show regulatory variants linking transcription to interferons ...

Microtopographic mosaics, not successional age, structure plant diversity in zokor-engineered alpine meadows within early recovery stages

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi) act as ecosystem engineers in Tibetan alpine meadows by constructing soil mounds that generate fine-scale microtopographic heterogeneity.

Phylogenetic relationships of extant zokors (Myospalacinae) (Rodentia, Spalacidae) inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this study, we use three mitochondrial markers, cytochrome b gene (Cyt b), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4) and control region (D-loop) to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of extant zokor species in Mysopalacinae.

Genetic differentiations between habitat edges and interiors of Plateau Zokor (Eospalax baileyi) in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Microbiology Research, 2012
Nucleotide variations in the mitochondrial cytochrome b and control region gene sequences were used to investigate genetic differentiations between edge habitats and the interiors of Eospalax baileyi. There were 187 individuals for cytochrome b gene analysis and 155 individuals for control region from 16 populations over the total distribution range ...

Dynamics of soil properties and organic carbon pool in topsoil of zokor-made mounds at an alpine site of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The population of burrowing plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) was markedly increased in the Qinghai- Tibetan Plateau. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of zokor foraging and mound-making disturbance on topsoil properties and ...

Monitoring the Degree of Gansu Zokor Damage in Chinese Pine by Hyperspectral Remote Sensing [PDF]

open access: yes
Chinese pine has been extensively planted in the Loess Plateau, but it faces significant threats from Gansu zokor. Traditional methods for monitoring rodent damage rely on manual surveys to assess damage rates but are time-consuming and often ...

Food Resource Partitioning in Alpine Weasel,Steppe Polecat and Upland Buzzard:Evidence from Stable Isotope Ratios [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Based on mass balance theory and IsoSource program,stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios revealed that small mammals (plateau pika,root vole and plateau zokor) contributed 26.8% and 27.0% and 29.2% to alpine weasel,steppe polecat and upland ...
