20 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
According to life history theory, animals living in extreme environments have evolved specific behavioral and physiological strategies for survival. However, the genetic mechanisms underpinning these strategies are unclear. As the highest geographical unit on Earth, the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is characterized by an extreme environment and climate. During long-term evolutionary processes, animals that inhabit the...
