Impact of groundwater table and plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) on ecosystem respiration in the Zoige Peatlands of China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Peatlands contain large amount of carbon stock that is vulnerable to release into the atmosphere. Mostly because of human impact, the peatlands at Zoige Wetlands face severe degradation, and the groundwater table is now lower than before, which has ...

Genomic microsatellite characterization and development of polymorphic microsatellites in Eospalax baileyi [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Microsatellite markers are cost-effective, rapid, efficient, and show great advantages in in large-sample kinship analysis and population structure studies. However, microsatellite loci are seriously underdeveloped in non-model organisms.

Ingesting Stellera chamaejasme Significantly Impacts the Gastrointestinal Tract Bacterial Community and Diversity in Plateau Zokors (Eospalax baileyi) [PDF]

Microorganisms
Intestinal bacteria are considered the “second genome” of the host, playing a crucial physiological role in assisting the host in degrading plant secondary compounds, nutrient absorption, immune regulation, and other aspects.

Into Tibet: An Early Pliocene Dispersal of Fossil Zokor (Rodentia: Spalacidae) from Mongolian Plateau to the Hinterland of Tibetan Plateau.

PLoS ONE, 2015
This paper reports the fossil zokors (Myospalacinae) collected from the lower Pliocene (~4.4 Ma) of Zanda Basin, southwestern Tibet, which is the first record in the hinterland of Tibetan Plateau within the Himalayan Range.

Comparative phylogeography of the plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) and its host-associated flea (Neopsylla paranoma) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]

BMC Evol Biol, 2014
Background: Specific host-parasite systems often embody a particular co-distribution phenomenon, in which the parasite’s phylogeographic pattern is dependent on its host.

Pleistocene climate-driven diversification of plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Glacial oscillations and associated tectonic processes during the middle-late Pleistocene are thought to have created a unique pattern of species distribution diversity in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP).

Ecologically-Based Rodent Pest Management: Research Progress in Plateau Zokors on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2023
Rodent management has been an ongoing global challenge. The emergence of ecologically based rodent management (EBRM) has improved a series of dilemmas in traditional rodent control that are poorly targeted, unsustainable, and environmentally harmful. The

Novel genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Enterocytozoon bieneusi detected in plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) from the Tibetan Plateau

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
The plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is a small subterranean rodent endemic to China that lives alone in sealed underground burrows at altitudes ranging from 2000 to 4200 m above sea level on the Tibetan Plateau.

Increased availability of preferred food and decreased foraging costs from degraded grasslands lead to rodent pests in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The increased population density of rodent species during ongoing grassland degradation further deteriorates its conditions. Understanding the effects of grassland degradation on rodent feeding habits is of great value for optimizing grassland management

Gut Microbiome Alterations and Hepatic Metabolic Flexibility in the Gansu Zokor, Eospalax cansus: Adaptation to Hypoxic Niches

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
The Gansu zokor (Eospalax cansus), a typical subterranean rodent endemic to the Chinese Loess Plateau, spends almost its whole life in its self-constructed underground burrows and has strong adaptability to ambient hypoxia.
