Diet diversity is associated with beta but not alpha diversity of pika gut microbiota
Wild mammals often consume different food sources as they become geographical
available. This change in diet composition is likely to influence the gut microbial community …

Molecular evolution of cytochrome c oxidase underlies high-altitude adaptation in the bar-headed goose
Bar-headed geese (Anser indicus) fly at up to 9,000 m elevation during their migration over
the Himalayas, sustaining high metabolic rates in the severe hypoxia at these altitudes. We …
