A review about reproductive characteristics of zokors

Reproduction is the biological process of organism producing offspring which is an important factor affecting the population dynamics. There are lots of researches about reproduction of subterranean rodents as a key parameter. Zokors, typical subterranean rodents, inhabit in cropland, grassland and forest which occupy a very important position in ecosystem. However, there are only few researches about zokors reproduction as their unique habitat. The present paper reviews the research process of zokors in term of sex ratio, mating, reproduction capacity, fetal number, etc. and also summarizes the studied animals and research methods which will provide reference for future zokors control and biodiversity conservation on rangeland.
