高原鼠兔生态学研究进展

Plateau pika ecology: A review

高原鼠兔(Ochotona curzoniae)是青藏高原生态系统特有的小型优势哺乳动物,具有维持草原生态系统多样性、改善土壤等重要的生态学意义。目前,高原鼠兔的生态学研究已有大量报道,本文从高原鼠兔栖息地、种群生态、繁殖生态、行为生态、高原适应性以及与草原生态系统的关系等方面,综述了国内外的研究现状,并分析了未来有待深入研究的问题,高原鼠兔的高原适应性及其生态意义值得进一步研究。

Plateau pika （Ochotona curzoniae） is a small and dominant lagomorph, endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. This species is of ecological significance for maintaining the biodiversity of grassland ecosystem and improving soil quality in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Currently, considerable studies have been published on plateau pika ecology. This paper addresses habitat selection, population ecology, reproduction ecology, and behavioral ecology of plateau pika. It also discusses plateau pika＇ s adaptation to the plateau and correlation with grassland ecosystem. Finally, we put forward the direction of future research on the adaptability of plateau pika on the plateau and its ecological significance.
