p53 gene cloning and response to hypoxia in the plateau zokor, Myospalax baileyi [PDF]
Animal Biology, 2018 The plateau zokor ( Myospalax baileyi ) is a specialized subterranean rodent that lives on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The species has evolved a series of strategies to adapt to its hypoxic environment and hypercapnia. p53 is a tumour suppressor gene that

cDNA cloning and expression of erythropoietin in the plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012 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.

Plant diversity is closely related to the density of zokor mounds in three alpine rangelands on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is a subterranean rodent endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. This species has been generally viewed as a pest in China due to the competition for food with livestock and also causing soil erosion.

Adaptive Transcriptome Profiling of Subterranean Zokor, Myospalax baileyi, to High- Altitude Stresses in Tibet. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 Animals living at high altitudes have evolved distinct phenotypic and genotypic adaptations against stressful environments. We studied the adaptive patterns of altitudinal stresses on transcriptome turnover in subterranean plateau zokors (Myospalax ...

Dynamic changes in home-ranges of the subterranean rodent: a case study on Myospalax baileyi
, 2020 BackgroundSubterranean rodents, as ecosystem engineers, excavate and inhabit burrow systems. Their underground space-use mobility is poorly recorded. There is conflicting evidence regarding that burrow system of subterranean rodents, once established ...

PAI-1 and MASPIN GENE EVOLUTION ANALYSIS IN PLATEAU ZOKOR(MYOSPALAX BAILEYI)
Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents, 2019 Hypoxia is one of the most obvious environmental characteristics of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Increasing tissue microvessel density is an important mechanism for plateau animals to adapt to the hypoxic environment.

Journal of Arid Environments, 2007 Abstract The recovery of vegetation cover following soil disturbance by the plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) was investigated from 2001 to 2004 in a subalpine meadow of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Two adjacent plots were compared: one control community (undisturbed by zokors for over 5 years) and one disturbed community (with new mounds present ...

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.
