| Research Abstract |
Only several taxonomic and ecological studies in small mammals have been conducted in China by foreign workers. The purpose of this project is, therefore, taxonomic revision of small mammals preserved in the main museums in China, particularly on rodents and bats. In some rodents, kayotypic analyses have been done.
The other purpose is to observe the behavior of two species of pikas (Genus Ochotona, Lagomorpha) inhabiting at the Qinghai Plateau. The social organization of Ochotona curzoniae was peculiar to hold the family territory through autumn. and that of O. cansu was the same pair territories as found in rock-living pikas like o. hyperborea in Japan.
