A combination of composite-likelihood and gene network-based methods to investigate the impact of Denisovan introgression on the evolution of complex (i.e., polygenic) adaptive traits in high-altitude populations of Tibetan/Sherpa ancestry.
Comparative transcriptome analyses of human placenta reveal regulatory divergence between native highlanders and lowland immigrants living at high altitude, and a sex-biased pattern of genetic adaptation.
Applying decomposition of oscillatory and aperiodic signal components to developmental EEG data provides a solution for the problems in the investigation of alpha power during brain maturation.
Warming and altered precipitation reduce the growth rates of alpine soil bacteria by 40-90%, and the growth of ~70% taxa is influenced by antagonistic interactions between factors.
Environmental selection overwhelmed the geographic 'distance' effect when across biotas, overturning the previously well-accepted geographic pattern for microbes on a large scale.
An integrative approach allows investigations of the relationship between an initial plasticity and the subsequent adaptive evolution during rapid adaptive modification of complex systems in the wild.
Spatial segregation is identified as the primary mechanism facilitating the coexistence of apex and mesocarnivores in the Qilian Mountain National Park, China.
