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

Gut Microbiome Changes in Captive Plateau Zokors ()
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 ...

Impact of bioturbation on sediment redistribution in coastal Chile - As estimated by combining remote sensing, machine learning and semi-empirical modelling [PDF]
, 2023 The burial activity of terrestrial bioturbators influences the microtopography, surface roughness, and physical properties of the soil. By reworking sediments, bioturbators increase soil permeability and porosity, which has implications for infiltration ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 17, Page 9283-9300, September 2020., 2020 The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is considered a source region for colonization of adjacent areas such as the northern Palearctic. Using an ancestral area reconstruction approach on a phylogeny of 279 bird species, we suggest that faunal exchange between the QTP and adjacent regions was bidirectional through time and the QTP region has harbored both ...

Environmental Controls on Multi-Scale Dynamics of Net Carbon Dioxide Exchange From an Alpine Peatland on the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]
, 2022 Peatlands are characterized by their large carbon storage capacity and play an essential role in the global carbon cycle. However, the future of the carbon stored in peatland ecosystems under a changing climate remains unclear.

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 ...
