[Effect of grass carp introduction of the extinction of Ottelia acuminata in Dianchi Lake].

[Diversity and faunal analysis of crustaceans in Potatso National Park, Shangri-La, China].

Potatso National Park was the first national park in mainland China, preceded by the earlier Bitahai Nature Reserve.
