| In this study, we collected pika samples from seven locations spanning an altitude gradient across the QTP. | For this study, we gathered pika specimens from seven distinct sites that span an elevation gradient along the QTP. | The original sentence lacked clarity and concision. By rewording it, the intended meaning is clearer and more concise. |
| We conducted a metagenomic analysis to identify ARGs present in the gut microbiome of pikas. | We performed a metagenomic analysis on the pika gut microbiome to detect any ARGs present in it. | The modified sentence provides more clarity and meets academic writing standards by using more specific terminology. |
| We aimed to (1) examine the distribution of ARGs and gut microbiota along different elevations in the pika gut on the QTP; (2) identify the altitudinal distribution of high-risk ARGs in the pika gut; and (3) analyze the co-occurrence patterns between gut microbes and ARGs in pikas. | Our study objectives were three-fold: 1) to explore how ARGs and gut microbiota are distributed at different elevations within the pika digestive system on QTP; 2) to identify where high-risk ARGs occur most frequently within that same digestive system; and 3) to investigate any patterns of co-occurrence between gut microbes and ARGs found in these animals. | The modified version clarifies what each objective is seeking out, which makes it easier for readers to understand what was studied while maintaining concise language use. It also uses more formal academic language suitable for publication purposes. |
