It is found that the genes that were positively selected in the early evolution of pikas were most concentrated in functional categories related to cold tolerance, which suggests that the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau may have served as a training ground for cold tolerance in early pkas.

Impact of grazing on giant pandas'habitat was studied at Yele Nature Reserve, Sichuan in 2001. Forage ratio selection index is used to assess the bamboo utilization of both giant pandas and grazing.…
Isolation and characterization of fourteen microsatellite loci for striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius)
- Hua Wu, Xiangjiang Zhan, F. Wei
- BiologyConservation Genetics
- 15 February 2008
The isolation and characterization of 14 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci in the striped field mouse from genomic DNA-enriched libraries are described and will be useful in studying phylogeography and population genetics of the stripes field mouse.
Phylogeny of Oriental Voles (Rodentia: Muridae: Arvicolinae): Molecular and Morphological Evidence
- Shaoying Liu, Yang Liu, Yaping Zhang
- BiologyZoological Science
- 3 September 2012
The molecular phylogeny, based on two mitochondrial genes (COI and cyt b), resolves the Oriental voles as a monophyletic group with strong support, and considers Caryomys and Eothenomys to be valid genera.
Reassessment of the taxonomic status of Craseomys and three controversial species of Myodes and Alticola (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).
- Mingkun Tang, Wei-Tao Jin, Shaoying Liu
- BiologyZootaxa
- 5 June 2018
The results support the resurrection of the genus Craseomys and the treatment of Phaulomys as its junior synonym and produce phylogenetic trees using Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood, and maximum parsimony approaches.
