In this paper, we review evidence for a major biotic turnover across the Oligocene/Miocene in the Tibetan Plateau region. Based on the recent study of six well-preserved fossil sites from the Cenozoic Lunpola and Nima basins in the central Tibetan Plateau, we report a regional changeover from tropical/subtropical ecosystems in the Late Oligocene ecosystem (26–24 Ma) to a cooler, alpine biota of the Early Miocene (23–18 Ma). The Late Oligocene fossil biota, comprising of fish (climbing perch), insects and plants (palms), shows that the hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau was a warm lowland influenced by tropical humidity from the Indian Ocean. In the Early Miocene, the regional biota became transformed, with the evolution and diversification of the endemic primitive snow carp. Early Miocene vegetation was dominated by temperate broad-leaved forest with abundant conifers and herbs under a cool climate, and mammals included the hornless rhinoceros, Plesiaceratherium, a warm temperate taxon. This dramatic ecosystem change is due to a cooling linked to the uplift of Tibetan region, from a Late Oligocene paleo-elevation of no greater than 2300 m a.s.l. in the sedimentary basin to a paleo-elevation of about 3000 m a.s.l. Another factor was the Cenozoic global climatic deterioration toward to an ice-house world.

Kraits of the genus Bungarus Daudin 1803 are widely known venomous snakes distributed from Iran to China and Indonesia. Here, we use a combination of mitochondrial DNA sequence data and morphological data to describe a new species from Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China: Bungarus suzhenae sp. nov. Phylogenetically, this species forms a monophyletic lineage sister to the Bungarus candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex based on cyt b and ND4 genes but forms a ister species pair with the species B. magnimaculatus Wall & Evans, 1901 based on COI gene fragments. Morphologically, B. suzhenae sp. nov. is similar to the B. candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex but differs from these taxa by a combination of dental morphology, squamation, coloration pattern, as well as hemipenial morphology. A detailed description of the cranial osteology of the new species is given based on micro-CT tomography images. We revised the morphological characters of B. candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex and verified the validity of three species in this complex. The distribution of these species was revised; the records of B. candidus in China should be attributed to B. wanghaotingi. We also provide an updated key to species of Bungarus.

The data includes: zooplankton species list; zooplankton density; microscopy; high-throughput sequencing; complete data; constructing an original data set for lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Zooplankton is an indispensable link in lake water ecological investigation, and it is a link between the system The location of the food web is an important carrier for the material circulation and energy flow of the food web. The systematic investigation and study of the composition and biodiversity of the zooplankton in the lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is particularly important for understanding the stability and resilience of the lake ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In addition, Zooplankton are very sensitive to environmental changes, and changes in their structure and functional groups can indicate the intensity and magnitude of environmental pressure.

In the first year (from the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020), a total of 110 scientific research teams were organized, focusing on more than 60 field scientific investigations in Motuo area, Qilian Mountain and West Tianshan Mountain of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, covering the whole Qinghai Tibet Plateau. By means of infrared camera, transect and sampling point, the authors investigated the vertebrates (birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fishes) in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the agro pastoral insects in the ecotone between agriculture and animal husbandry in the Asian water tower region and Himalaya region. We have completed the first round of field investigation of exotic fish in typical water bodies such as Yarlung Zangbo River, exotic amphibians and reptiles in Lhasa, Nyingchi and Xining city of Qinghai Province, rodents in northern Sichuan Tibet line, and Przewalski gazelle, and carried out and completed the collection of genetic (or histological) samples of some species. This data set contains the information of tissue samples collected during the first year of the scientific expedition. Each folder contains one data set specification table and one or more tissue sample information tables. The information report includes the sub subject number, species, collection place, collection time, collector, sample type, storage method and other information.
ANIMAL RESOURCE PLATFORM OF QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU Animal Resource Platform of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
In order to study the population evolution history and local adaptive genetic mechanism of main domesticated equine animals in Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its surrounding areas, and to establish the corresponding germplasm genetic resource bank. We have sequenced 236 horse samples collected in Qinghai Province, Tibet Autonomous Region and Xinjiang Autonomous Region by the end of 2018, including Tibetan horse, Tibetan donkey, plain domestic donkey and Jiama plain local breed. Seventy five samples (including 73 donkey samples and two horse samples) were sequenced for mitochondrial genome and D-loop sequencing. A number of genomic data were generated by sequencing, which provided data for tracing the domestication, migration, expansion and other historical events of horse domesticated animals in this area, and further exploring the adaptation mechanism of equine animals to the harsh environment such as hypoxia, high temperature and dryness.

The forest hydrology experimental area of Heihe River integrated remote sensing experiment includes the dense observation area of Dayekou basin and the dense observation area of Pailugou basin. Due to the concentrated distribution of the fixed sample plots in the drainage ditch basin, these sample plots lack of representativeness to the forest of the whole dayokou basin, so in June 2008, 43 temporary forest sample plots were set up in the whole dayokou basin. The data set is the ground observation data of the 43 temporary plots. In addition to the measurement and recording of stand status and site factors, Lai was also observed. The instruments used to measure each wood in the sample plot are mainly tape, DBH, flower pole, tree measuring instrument and compass. The DBH, tree height, height under branch, crown width in cross slope direction, crown width along slope direction and single tree growth were measured for each tree. WGS84 latitude and longitude coordinates of the center point of the sample plot were measured with different hand-held GPS, and the positioning error was about 5-30m. Other observation factors include: Forest Farm, slope direction, slope position, slope, soil thickness, canopy density, etc. The implementation time of these temporary sample plots is from 2 to 30 June 2008. The data set can provide ground data for the development of remote sensing inversion algorithm of forest structure parameters.

The data set mainly includes observation data of each tree in the super site, and the observation time is from June 2, 2008 to June 10, 2008. The super site is set around the Dayekou Guantan Forest Station. Since the size of the super site is 100m×100m, in order to facilitate the forest structure parameter survey, the super site is divided into 16 sub-sample sites, and tally forest measurement is performed in units of sub-samples. The tally forest measurement factors include: diameter, tree height, height under branch, crown width in transversal slope direction, crown width in up and down slope direction, and tindividual tree growth status. The measuring instruments are mainly: tape, diameter scale, laser altimeter, ultrasonic altimeter, range pole and compass. The data set also records the center point latitude and longitude coordinates of 16 sub-samples (measured by Z-MAX DGPS). The data set can be used for verification of remote sensing forest structure parameter extraction algorithm. The data set, together with other observation data of the super site, can be used for reconstruction of forest 3D scenes, establishment of active and passive remote sensing mechanism models, and simulation of remote sensing images,etc.

The Pan Third Pole is sensitive to global climate change, its warming rate is more than twice of the global rate, and it is affected by the synergy of westerlies and monsoons. How to respond to climate change will have a profound impact on regional ecological security. However, the estimation of NPP by current products is still uncertain. For this reason, this product combines multi-source remote sensing data, including AVHRR NDVI, MODIS reflectivity data, a variety of climate variables (temperature, precipitation, radiation, VPD) and a large number of field measured data, and uses machine learning algorithm to retrieve the net primary production capacity of Pan third polar ecosystem.

This data set is the transcriptome data of Tibetan pigs, which are the control group and the experimental group respectively. There are three individuals in the control group without any treatment. The experimental group is also three individuals. They are attacked with FMDV at the concentration of ID50. All samples are the transcriptome sequence results of the spleen samples of Tibetan pigs. Both the experiment and sample collection were carried out in Lanzhou. The numbers are z1-z6, and each data is divided into R1 and R2, indicating the results of double headed sequencing. Z1-Z3 is the individual results of the control group, and z4-z6 is the individual results of the experimental group. By comparing and analyzing the data of the control group and the experimental group, we can find out the response of the immune system in vivo when FMDV attacks the body of Tibetan pigs, find the immune genes and immune pathways that are activated when FMDV is attacked, find the related genes and pathways for the ability of resistance of Tibetan pigs to FMDV, and increase the immunity to FMDV in the future breeding process of domestic pigs Epidemic ability provides theoretical basis.
