Abstract The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) sensu lato (sl) houses an exceptional species
diversity in Asia. To develop a comprehensive understanding of species diversity in this …

The domestic dog represents one of the most dramatic long-term evolutionary experiments
undertaken by humans. From a large wolf-like progenitor, unparalleled diversity in …

Global climate change has a significant effect on extreme environments and a profound
influence on species survival. However, little is known of the genome-wide pattern of …

Humans and their domestic animals have lived and thrived in high-altitude environments
worldwide for thousands of years. These populations have developed a number of …

Comparative population genomics analysis is an effective approach to identify selection
signatures in farm animals. In this study, we systematically investigated the selection …

Summary The Great Himalayan Mountains and their foothills are believed to be the place of
origin and development of many plant species. The genetic basis of adaptation to high …

When challenged by similar environmental conditions, phylogenetically distant taxa often
independently evolve similar traits (convergent evolution). Meanwhile, adaptation to extreme …

Dogs are the most phenotypically diverse mammalian species, and they possess more
known heritable disorders than any other non-human mammal. Efforts to catalog and …

High altitude represents some of the most extreme environments worldwide. The genetic
changes underlying adaptation to such environments have been recently identified in …
