Adaptation to extreme environmental conditions is one of the major topics of evolutionary biology. High elevations provide extreme environments challenging the survival of many species. It is of strategic and scientific significance to study the mechanism of Plateau adaptation, especially given that China has the largest plateau areas in the world.
In particular, the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau... more |
