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 …

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

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 …

Background Organisms living at high altitudes face low oxygen and temperature conditions;
thus, the genetic mechanisms underlying the adaptations in these organisms merit …

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

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

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

Tibetan Plateau imposes extremely inhospitable environment on most wildlife. Besides the
harsh aquatic environment including hypoxia and chronic cold, high salinity and alkalinity is …

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 …

Triplophysa dalaica, endemic species of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, is informative for
understanding the genetic basis of adaptation to hypoxic conditions of high altitude habitats …
