A New Homotetramer Hemoglobin in the Pulmonary Surfactant of Plateau Zokors (Myospalax Baileyi)
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is a native species to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, inhabiting hypoxia and hypercapnia sealed subterranean burrows that pose several unique physiological challenges. In this study, we observed a novel heme-containing

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.

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 ...

Increased burrow oxygen levels trigger defensive burrow-sealing behavior by plateau zokors
Scientific Reports, 2021 Defensive behaviors are a response to immediate and potential threats in the environment, including abiotic and biotic threats. Subterranean rodents exhibit morphological and physiological adaptions for life underground, and they will seal with mounds ...
