Examining object recognition and object-in-Place memory in plateau zokors, Eospalax baileyi

Behavioural Processes, 2018
Recognition 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 ...

Seasonal patterns of miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in the testes of plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2023
The gonads of seasonal breeding animals undergo periodic annual changes in morphology, physiological hormones, and gene expression levels. To clarify the regulatory mechanism of miRNAs in the seasonal testicular development and spermatogenesis of plateau zokors, the miRNA expression profiles in their testicles during breeding and non-breeding seasons ...

Assessing spatial learning and working memory in plateau zokors in comparison with plateau pikas and laboratory rats

acta ethologica, 2019
Spatial learning and memory skills are imperative for the survival and fitness of subterranean rodents because of the harsh underground niche in which they live that necessitates the avoidance of higher energy expenditures or probable conflicts with conspecifics or predators.

[Responses of blood parameters and hemoglobin subtypes in plateau zokors and plateau pikas to different altitude habitats].

Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2023
The plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) are native species unique to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau with successful adaptation to the hypoxic environment. In this study, the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, mean hematocrit and mean volume of red blood cells were measured in plateau zokors and plateau

[Hypoxic adaptation of the hearts of plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)].

Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2015
Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzniae) are native to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. To study their adaptive mechanisms, the ratios of heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) and right to left ventricular plus septum weights [RV/(LV+S)] were determined; the microvessel density (MVD) of cardiac muscle were measured by ...

Evolutionary divergence on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau: How life-history traits shape the diversity of plateau zokor and pika populations

open access: yesJournal of Genetics and Genomics
Understanding how species diverge and adapt is fundamental to unraveling biodiversity. While environmental impacts on species evolution are well-documented, the roles of intrinsic life-history traits remain underexplored. The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, with its harsh conditions and unique biodiversity, offers a natural laboratory for such investigations ...

Seasonal dynamics and stability of gut antibiotic resistance genes in plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) and plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi)

Journal of Hazardous Materials
The extreme ecosystems of the Tibetan Plateau harbor an alarming reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) within wildlife gut microbiomes-an emerging contaminant with significant implications for One Health. However, seasonal dynamics and pathogenic risks of these ARGs remain poorly understood. Through a 2.5-year study comparing the subterranean
