Gut Microbiome Changes in Captive Plateau Zokors (Eospalax baileyi) [PDF]
Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2021 Wild-caught animals must cope with drastic lifestyle and dietary changes after being induced to captivity. How the gut microbiome structure of these animals will change in response receives increasing attention. The plateau zokor ( Eospalax baileyi), a typic subterranean rodent endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, spends almost the whole life ...

p53 gene cloning and response to hypoxia in the plateau zokor, Myospalax baileyi [PDF]
Animal Biology, 2018 The 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. p53 is a tumour suppressor gene that

Gut Microbiota Regulate Lipid Metabolism via the Bile Acid Pathway: Resistance to Hypoxia in Gansu Zokor (Eospalax cansus). [PDF]
Integr ZoolThe gut microbiota regulates lipid metabolism of Gansu zokor (Eospalax cansus) through the bile acid pathway in hypoxic environments, reflecting the unique survival strategy of subterranean rodents to maintain lipid metabolism homeostasis and flexible energy metabolism in hypoxic environments.

Climate Change-Induced Range Expansion of a Subterranean Rodent: Implications for Rangeland Management in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Disturbances, both human-induced and natural, may re-shape ecosystems by influencing their composition, structure, and functional processes. Plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) is a typical subterranean rodent endemic to Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), which

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 In our study, we tested how human activities in terms of livestock grazing and settlements affect the reciprocal effects between vegetation and giant root‐rats. Our results show that increasing livestock grazing intensity causes increases in giant root‐rat burrow density indirectly through decreased vegetation cover.

Sympatric Speciation in Mole Rats and Wild Barley and Their Genome Repeatome Evolution: A Commentary
Advanced Genetics, Volume 3, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 Our discovery in subterranean mammals and wild barley that noncoding genome or repeatome shows a mirror image of the coding genome suggests that they are both selected by the same ecological stresses and are both functionally adaptive. Abstract The theories of sympatric speciation (SS) and coding and noncoding (cd and ncd =repeatome) genome function ...

Grassland Research, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 207-219, September 2022., 2022 The herbivore carbon budget was estimated by an animal metabolic model developed in the Three‐Rivers Headwaters region. The livestock contributed 88% of the total consumed carbon that was returned 44% to grassland as feces and urine, and 40% through respiration and the remaining 4% in wildlife and 13% in livestock.
