Grassland Research, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 207-219, September 2022., 2022 The herbivore carbon budget was estimated by an animal metabolic model developed in the Three‐Rivers Headwaters region. The livestock contributed 88% of the total consumed carbon that was returned 44% to grassland as feces and urine, and 40% through respiration and the remaining 4% in wildlife and 13% in livestock.

Vascular characteristics and expression of hypoxia genes in Tibetan pigs’ hearts
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 177-186, January 2022., 2022 Tibetan pigs have exhibited unique characteristics from low‐altitudes pigs and have adapted well to the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, but how this occurs is incompletely understood. We found that Tibetan pigs had larger diameters and higher densities of arterioles than Landrace pigs (p < 0.05), and these features have a similar variation with the expression ...

The hypoxia adaptation of small mammals to plateau and underground burrow conditions
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 319-328, December 2021., 2021 Small mammals have evolved mechanisms of hypoxia adaptation living under plateau and underground burrow conditions. Abstract Oxygen is one of the important substances for the survival of most life systems on the earth, and plateau and underground burrow systems are two typical hypoxic environments.

Adaptation of mammals to hypoxia
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 311-318, December 2021., 2021 Soil profile and a blind mole living underground. Abstract Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the metabolism and activities of mammals. However, oxygen is restricted in some environments—subterranean burrow systems or habitats at high altitude or deep in the ocean—and this could exert hypoxic stresses such as oxidative damage on organisms living in these ...

Gut Microbiome Changes in Captive Plateau Zokors ()
Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2021 Wild-caught animals must cope with drastic lifestyle and dietary changes after being induced to captivity. How the gut microbiome structure of these animals will change in response receives increasing attention. The plateau zokor ( Eospalax baileyi ), a typic subterranean rodent endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, spends almost the whole life ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 17, Page 9283-9300, September 2020., 2020 The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is considered a source region for colonization of adjacent areas such as the northern Palearctic. Using an ancestral area reconstruction approach on a phylogeny of 279 bird species, we suggest that faunal exchange between the QTP and adjacent regions was bidirectional through time and the QTP region has harbored both ...

p53 gene cloning and response to hypoxia in the plateau zokor, Myospalax baileyi [PDF]
Animal Biology, 2018 AbstractThe plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is a specialized subterranean rodent that lives on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The species has evolved a series of strategies to adapt to its hypoxic environment and hypercapnia.p53is a tumour suppressor gene that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to hypoxia by inducing cell cycle arrest, cell ...

Impact of groundwater table and plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) on ecosystem respiration in the Zoige Peatlands of China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Peatlands contain large amount of carbon stock that is vulnerable to release into the atmosphere. Mostly because of human impact, the peatlands at Zoige Wetlands face severe degradation, and the groundwater table is now lower than before, which has ...
