cDNA cloning and expression of erythropoietin in the plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]
All organisms respond to variation in their environments and manage environmental stress through metabolic adjustments. The plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is an endemic and keystone subterranean rodent species that inhabits the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau between 2800 and 4200 m above sea level.

Analysis of the erythropoietin of a Tibetan Plateau schizothoracine fish (Gymnocypris dobula) reveals enhanced cytoprotection function in hypoxic environments [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that plays a principal regulatory role in erythropoiesis and initiates cell homeostatic responses to environmental challenges.

Linking Scales: Investigations on the interaction between environmental conditions, humans, and a fossorial rodent species across space and time [PDF]
Interactions between species and their environment build the backbone of biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Species-environment interactions shape species' spatial distributions and population dynamics, with present and past environmental conditions ...

Oxygenation properties and underlying molecular mechanisms of hemoglobins in plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) [PDF]
The plateau zokor ( Eospalax baileyi) is a species of subterranean rodent endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. It is well adapted to the cold and hypoxic and hypercapnic burrow. To study the oxygenation properties of plateau zokor hemoglobins (Hbs), we measured intrinsic Hb-O2affinities and their sensitivities to pH (Bohr effect); CO2; Cl−, 2,3 ...

Combination of nuclear and mitochondrial markers as a useful tool to identify Ctenophthalmus species and subspecies (Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae) [PDF]
Ctenophthalmus is considered the largest genus within the Order Siphonaptera. From a morphological point of view, only males of this genus can be identified at species and subspecies levels using morphological keys, whereas there are no morphological ...
