中文摘要	background: plateau pikas (ochotona curzoniae, hodgson, 1858) are viewed as a pest in the tibetan plateau meadow ecosystem when their population densities are high. traditional culling using rodenticides often poses a high risk to non-target species and even to humans. in this study, an investigation was made of the infertility effects of quinestrol (e), levonorgestrel (p) and a combination of the two (ep, ratio e:p = 1:2) on plateau pikas during 2007 and 2008. results: treatment with e or ep significantly decreased the pregnancy rate of female pikas in 2007. in 2008, there was a crossyear effect that still suppressed male reproduction in treated groups. treatment with e obviously reduced the reproduction of pikas but not their population abundance in 2007; the reduction in population size was significant in 2008. conclusions: single baiting of quinestrol in early breeding season reduced the reproduction and population size of pikas throughout 2007. the effect of infertility lasted into the next breeding season through a cross- year effect, which resulted in a significant reduction of population size in 2008. quinestrol is a very promising non- lethal approach to managing pika populations; however, several factors need to be investigated further to improve the practicality of thismethod.
