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 increased the population of the plateau zokor, a burrowing rodent.

Seismic Signaling for Detection of Empty Tunnels in the Plateau Zokor, Eospalax baileyi. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2023 There are considerable challenges involved in studying the behavior of subterranean rodents owing to the underground nature of their ecotope. Seismic communication plays a crucial role in the behavior of subterranean rodents, particularly solitary ones ...

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 ...

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.
