Effects of dietary energy levels on rumen fermentation, microbial diversity, and feed efficiency of yaks ( Bos grunniens) by Ahmad, A.A., Yang, C., Zhang, J., Kalwar, Q., Liang, Z., Li, C., Du, M., Yan, P., Long, R., Han Jianlin, Ding, X.

“…The microbial community of the yak (Bos grunniens) rumen plays an important role in surviving the harsh Tibetan environment where seasonal dynamic changes in pasture cause nutrient supply imbalances, resulting in weight loss in yaks during the cold season. …”

Genetic variability and individual assignment of Chinese indigenous sheep populations (Ovis aries) using microsatellites by Niu, L.L., Li, H.B., Ma, Y.H., Du, L.X.

“…The polymorphism information content (PIC) of overall loci for the six populations ranged from 0.283 (SRCRSP5) to 0.852 (OarVH72). Tibetan sheep were the most diverse population with the highest mean allelic richness (6.895), while Ujmuqin (UQ) harboured the lowest allelic richness (6.000). …”

Assessment of cattle genetic introgression into domestic yak populations using mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA markers by Qi, X.B., Wang, G., Rege, J.E.O., Hanotte, Olivier H., Han Jianlin

“…Although the level of cattle admixture shows a clear geographical structure, with higher levels of admixture in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Mongolian and Russian regions, and lower levels in the Himalayan and Pamir Plateau region, our results indicate that the level of cattle admixture is not significantly correlated with the altitude across geographical regions as well as within geographical region. …”

From the mountains to the plains: impact of climate change on water resources in the Koshi River Basin by Bharati, Luna, Bhattarai, Utsav, Khadka, Ambika, Gurung, Pabitra, Neumann, L. E., Penton, D. J., Dhaubanjar, Sanita, Nepal, S.

“…Results show that precipitation and net water yield are lowest in the transmountain region and the Tibetan plateau. The values are highest in the mountain region, followed by the hills and Indo-Gangetic Plains. …”
