... understand how our recent evolutionary history influences the emergence of adaptive alleles. Consistent with our small historical Ne of ~10,000 (REF. 10), there are few clear examples of new alleles that have spread rapidly to fixation in human populations (reviewed in REF. 11). Instead, recent popu ...

Organisms at high altitude



Organisms can live at high altitude, either on land, or while flying. Decreased oxygen availability and decreased temperature make life at high altitude challenging. Despite these environmental conditions, many species have been successfully adapted at high altitudes. Animals have developed physiological adaptations to enhance oxygen uptake and delivery to tissues which can be used to sustain metabolism. The strategies used by animals to adapt to high altitude depend on their morphology and phylogeny.
