Perhaps most remarkable is the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), which has evolved hemoglobin that changes its structure at different oxygen concentrations, becoming increasingly efficient at binding ...

Many highland animals have evolved to extract maximum energy from limited oxygen supplies. The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) has developed mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses—that can generate ...

ABSTRACT: It is well known that avian predators can use prey excretions such as urine and feces to track their prey, and the urine and feces of small mammalian herbivores can reflect ultraviolet (UV) ...

Livestock grazing is associated with the gut microbiota and antibiotic resistance genes in sympatric plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae). Integr. Zool. 19, 646–661. doi: 10.1111/1749-4877.12778 Crossref ...
