Analysis of the erythropoietin of a Tibetan Plateau schizothoracine fish (Gymnocypris dobula) reveals enhanced cytoprotection function in hypoxic environments [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that plays a principal regulatory role in erythropoiesis and initiates cell homeostatic responses to environmental challenges.

Combination of nuclear and mitochondrial markers as a useful tool to identify Ctenophthalmus species and subspecies (Siphonaptera: Ctenophthalmidae) [PDF]

, 2021
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 ...

Linking Scales: Investigations on the interaction between environmental conditions, humans, and a fossorial rodent species across space and time [PDF]

, 2023
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 ...

Gut Microbiota Provide Co‐Existing Strategies for Two Species of Symmetrically Distributed Rodents in Competition for Food

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Gut microbiota provides an effective strategy for sympatric proximal species to coexist in interspecific competition. ABSTRACT Gut microbiota provides an effective strategy for sympatric proximal species to coexist in interspecific competition. In the present study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to investigate the gut microbial of the Cricetulus ...

Dynamic changes in the home range of the subterranean rodent Myospalax baileyi

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
As ecosystem engineers, subterranean rodents excavate and inhabit burrow systems. However, the changes in their use of underground space are poorly recorded.

Phylogeography of the Tibetan hamster Cricetulus kamensis in response to uplift and environmental change in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 7291-7306, June 2019., 2019
Major genetic differentiations of Cricetulus kamensis occurred in the late Pliocene. Cricetulus kamensis populations were restricted into two major clades due to tectonic movement of QTP and the Last Glacial Maximum. Abstract Aim The evolutionary process of an organism provides valuable data toward an understanding of the Earth evolution history.

Differential Response of Community Biomass Temporal‐ and Spatial‐ Stabilities to Nitrogen Addition in an Alpine Meadow on the Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
This study investigates how nitrogen addition affects temporal and spatial stability of community biomass in alpine meadows. Using 5 years of experimental data, it highlights the key roles of dominant species' asynchrony and shows that nitrogen addition enhances temporal but not spatial stability, despite reduced species richness, emphasizing the need ...

Losses of low‐germinating, slow‐growing species prevent grassland composition recovery from nutrient amendment

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.
An incomplete recovery in plant diversity and a directional shift in species composition from grass dominance to forb dominance were observed, and the historically dominant sedges with low germination rate and slow growth rate and nitrogen‐fixing legumes with low germination rate were unable to re‐establish after nutrient addition ceased.

Microbial community composition in the dung of five sympatric European herbivore species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract The dung microbiome is a complex system that is highly influenced by species and diet. This study characterized the dung bacterial and fungal communities of five herbivore species inhabiting the National Park Zuid‐Kennemerland, the Netherlands.

Alpine grassland degradation intensifies the burrowing behavior of small mammals: evidence for a negative feedback loop

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 240-252, March 2024.
Our study demonstrates the changes of behaviour, increased burrowing and enlarged colony territories, of pikas in response to grassland degradation. Our results indicate that the negative impact of plateau pikas on grasslands is through such changes of burrowing and ranging behaviors instead of “population explosion” due to their preference of degraded
