| 摘 要： | 独特的现代青藏高原哺乳动物群中的多数成员在高原上具有悠久的生活历史，表明它们在高海拔的高原范围内经历过长期的适应过程。哺乳动物对生态系统的变化非常敏感，能够指示气候环境和地形地势的变化，所以，研究青藏高原腹地及周边的哺乳动物化石的演化历史能够反演新生代时期高原的隆升过程及其对气候环境变化的重大影响。

| Abstract: | Most forms of the distinctive modern mammalian fauna of the Tibetan Plateau have long life history in this plateau, which indicates that they have long-term adaptation procedures within the high-elevation plateau. Mammals are very sensitive to ecosystem changes, so they can reflect variations of the climate, environment, topography, and elevation. As a result, the study to the evolutionary history of the mammalian fossils from the hinterland and adjacent areas of the Tibetan Plateau can prove the uplift process of this plateau and its significant influence to the climatic and environmental variations during the Cenozoic. |
