Vascular characteristics and expression of hypoxia genes in Tibetan pigs’ hearts
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 177-186, January 2022., 2022 Tibetan pigs have exhibited unique characteristics from low‐altitudes pigs and have adapted well to the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, but how this occurs is incompletely understood. We found that Tibetan pigs had larger diameters and higher densities of arterioles than Landrace pigs (p < 0.05), and these features have a similar variation with the expression ...

The hypoxia adaptation of small mammals to plateau and underground burrow conditions
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 319-328, December 2021., 2021 Small mammals have evolved mechanisms of hypoxia adaptation living under plateau and underground burrow conditions. Abstract Oxygen is one of the important substances for the survival of most life systems on the earth, and plateau and underground burrow systems are two typical hypoxic environments.

Adaptation of mammals to hypoxia
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 311-318, December 2021., 2021 Soil profile and a blind mole living underground. Abstract Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the metabolism and activities of mammals. However, oxygen is restricted in some environments—subterranean burrow systems or habitats at high altitude or deep in the ocean—and this could exert hypoxic stresses such as oxidative damage on organisms living in these ...

Rewilding soil-disturbing vertebrates to rehabilitate degraded landscapes: benefits and risks [PDF]
, 2023 Soil-disturbing animals are common globally and play important roles in creating and maintaining healthy functional soils and landscapes. Yet many of these animals are threatened or locally extinct due to habitat loss, predation by non-native animals or ...

Transcriptome sequencing and phylogenomic resolution within Spalacidae (Rodentia) [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Subterranean mammals have been of great interest for evolutionary biologists because of their highly specialized traits for the life underground. Owing to the convergence of morphological traits and the incongruence of molecular evidence, the

The Giant Root-rat (Tachyoryctes macrocephalus) as a Synanthropic Landscape Engineer in the Bale Mountains, Southeast Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2023 Subterranean rodents particularly can act as ecosystem engineers by shaping the landscape due to soil perturbation and herbivory. Human activities, such as settlement establishment and livestock grazing, also profoundly impact ecosystem structure and ...
