Ecological responses of Orientallactaga sibirica: Variations in body size and trophic niche across changing habitats by Qi-qige Buren, Xin Li, Guo-kang Chen, Guo-hui Ye, Shan-shan Sun, Yong-ling Jin, Ming-ming, He-Ping Fu, Shuai Yuan

“…The trophic niche width of O. sibirica varied across habitat types, being widest in the warm-temperate semi-humid zone and at mid-altitudes. Segmented structural equation modeling revealed that elevation and mean annual temperature exerted significant negative effects on O. sibirica body size by affecting FVC, whereas annual precipitation had a significant positive effect on body size, mediated through FVC. …”
