Plant diversity is closely related to the density of zokor mounds in three alpine rangelands on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is a subterranean rodent endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. This species has been generally viewed as a pest in China due to the competition for food with livestock and also causing soil erosion.

Centromeric tandem repeats expansions in plateau zokor enhance chromosome stability for high-altitude adaptation [PDF]
Genome BiologyBackground Repetitive elements constitute nearly 50% of mammalian genomes; however, their roles in adaptive evolution remain poorly understood. Their identification and assembly, particularly for tandem repeats, are technically challenging, leading to ...

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 ...
