AbstractThe evolutionary outcomes of high elevation adaptation have been extensively described. However, whether widely distributed high elevation endemic animals adopt uniform mechanisms during adaptation to different elevational environments remains unknown, especially with respect to extreme high elevation environments.

Examining object recognition and object-in-Place memory in plateau zokors, Eospalax baileyi
Behavioural Processes, 2018Recognition 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 ...

Effect of plateau zokor on soil carbon and nitrogen concentrations of alpine meadows
CATENA, 2021Abstract Small subterranean mammals cause extensive disturbance of grasslands by producing many mounds in the grasslands. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a small subterranean mammal, plateau zokor (Myospalax fontanierii), on soil carbon and nitrogen concentrations in alpine meadows. In this study, the disturbance effect by plateau zokor on

In the present study, the composition and content of pulmonary surfactant (PS) were analyzed to explore the hypoxia adaptation mechanism in plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae). 36 plateau zokors and plateau pikas were trapped alive at the Laji Mountain in Guide County, Qinghai Province (at the altitude of about 3 ...

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.

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

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 ...

PAI-1 and Maspin gene evolution analysis in plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi).
Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents, 2019Hypoxia is one of the most obvious environmental characteristics of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Increasing tissue microvessel density is an important mechanism for plateau animals to adapt to the hypoxic environment.

Cestode larvae spend one phase of their two-phase life cycle in the viscera of rodents, but cases of cestodes infecting subterranean rodents have only been rarely observed. To experimentally gain some insight into this phenomenon, we captured approximately 300 plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi), a typical subterranean rodent inhabiting the Qinghai-Tibet
