Abstract:

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a global biodiversity hotspot, and small mammals are important models for revealing the genetic resources and adaptive evolution mechanisms of plateau species. Recent breakthroughs in molecular genetics and genomics have yielded groundbreaking discoveries regarding the genetic architecture and evolutionary adaptations of small mammals inhabiting the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This article systematically reviews the research advance of representative taxa of small mammals on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in terms of classification and phylogeny, population dispersal, and adaptive evolution. This will provide sufficient basis for a deeper understanding of the diversity, evolutionary history, and molecular adaptation mechanisms of small mammals in the region. Finally, we highlight the priority of investigating species/population diversity among small mammals and suggest several avenues of research that are highly relevant for future small mammal diversity conservation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
