Elucidating the genetic mechanisms of organismal adaptation to the Tibetan Plateau at a
genomic scale can provide insights into the process of adaptive evolution. Many highland …

Glyptosternoid fishes (Siluriformes), one of the three broad fish lineages (the two other are
schizothoracines and Triplophysa), have a limited distribution in the rivers in the Tibetan …

Background Genome-wide studies on highland adaptation mechanism in terrestrial animal
have been widely reported with few available for aquatic animals. Tibetan Schizothoracinae …

High‐altitude environments are strong drivers of adaptive evolution in endemic organisms.
However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms of convergent adaptation among …

Abstracts Background Mechanisms for high-altitude adaption have attracted widespread
interest among evolutionary biologists. Several genome-wide studies have been carried out …

Triplophysa fishes are the primary component of the fish fauna on the Tibetan Plateau and
are well adapted to the high-altitude environment. Despite the importance of Triplophysa …

Background Understanding the genetic basis of adaptation to high altitude life is of
paramount importance for preserving and managing genetic diversity in highland animals …

Animal genomes in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau provide valuable resources for scientists to
understand the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation. Tibetan fish species play …

Gymnocypris przewalskii, a cyprinid fish endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, has
evolved unique morphological, physiological and genetic characteristics to adapt to the …

Background Intense stresses caused by high-altitude environments may result in noticeable
genetic adaptions in native species. Studies of genetic adaptations to high elevations have …
