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.

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

African 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 ...

Cumulative effects of large and small mammalian herbivore disturbances shift soil nematode diversity from nitrogen to phosphorus dependence across spatial scales

Ecological Indicators
Mammalian herbivores regulate the stability and functioning of grassland ecosystems through grazing and diverse bioturbation behaviors. However, how multiple mammalian herbivore disturbances shape soil food web structure, nutrient cycling pathways, and ...

hyperspectral classification of plateau zokor molehills at different successional stages in alpine meadows

Abstract The distribution of molehills of the plateau zokor (Eospalax fontanierii) in alpine meadows and the age of their formation influence the structure and function of alpine meadow ecosystems. To realize a remote sensing survey of large grassland molehills, in this experiment, the Plateau zokor molehills in alpine meadows with heavy rodent
