Mitochondrial genome of Plateau zokorMyospalax baileyi

Mitochondrial DNA, 2011
Plateau zokors Myospalax baileyi are subterranean rodents and endemic to the cold and hypoxic (2800-4300 m above sea level) climate of the farm, prairie, alpine prairie, and meadow habitats across the Tibetan plateau. The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of M. baileyi has been determined. Our results showed that the total length of the mitogenome was

Blood-gas properties of plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2006
Plateau 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, 2016
Lactate 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.

Antifertility effects of levonorgestrel, quinestrol, and their mixture (EP‐1) on plateau zokor in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Integrative Zoology, 2022
AbstractThe plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) is a key species in the Qinghai−Tibetan Plateau ecosystem, and fertility control could be an ideal approach to manage populations of this subterranean species. In this laboratory study, we explored the effects of the mixture of levonorgestrel and quinestrol (EP‐1, 1:2), quinestrol (E), and levonorgestrel (P)

Plateau zokors on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau follow Bergmann's rule latitudinally, but not altitudinally

Mammalian Biology, 2012
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.

Diet selection in overwinter caches of plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi)

Acta Theriologica, 2013
Subterranean 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.

Predicted structural change in erythropoietin of plateau zokors — Adaptation to high altitude

Gene, 2012
Erythropoietin (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 ...

Novel microsatellite markers obtained from Gansu zokor (Eospalax cansus) and cross-species amplification in Plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi)

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2014
Abstract Zokor (Mysopalacinae) is a group of subterranean rodents. Although they are regarded as important components in the ecosystems they belong to, due to their underground lifestyle, very little is known about their ecology and behavior. Development of microsatellite markers can potentially assist in addressing behavioral and ecological ...
