Comparative transcriptomes reveal geographic differences in the ability of the liver of plateau zokors (Eospalax baileyi) to respond and adapt to toxic plants [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Environmental changes are expected to intensify in the future. The invasion of toxic plants under environmental changes may change herbivore feeding environments.

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 ...

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.

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.

RegCloser: a robust regression approach to closing genome gaps [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2023
Background Closing gaps in draft genomes leads to more complete and continuous genome assemblies. The ubiquitous genomic repeats are challenges to the existing gap-closing methods, based on either the k-mer representation by the de Bruijn graph or the ...

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 ...

Genetic adaptations of the plateau zokor in high-elevation burrows. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2015
AbstractThe plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) spends its entire life underground in sealed burrows. Confronting limited oxygen and high carbon dioxide concentrations and complete darkness, they epitomize a successful physiological adaptation. Here, we employ transcriptome sequencing to explore the genetic underpinnings of their adaptations to this ...

Control of Eospalax baileyi (Plateau Zokor) with arrow traps in western China

, 2016
In order to manage Eospalax (Myospalax) baileyi (Plateau zokors) pests with physical method, the efficacy of four different arrow traps was tested to control the plateau zokor in Sichuan Northwest Prairie, China. Population densities of 39.7-42.1 ha-1 were found in the test plots.

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 ...
