The paper reports the discovery of high-altitude mouse mummies and genomic and radiocarbon analyses showing they are recent and genetically similar to lower-altitude populations.

The paper reports a new elevational and geographic record of the puna mouse genus Punomys in Chile, extending its known distribution and highlighting the need for further surveys in remote high-elevation regions.

The paper shows how amino acid insertions and substitutions in Na+,K+-ATPase affect toxin resistance in different vertebrate lineages through epistatic interactions.

This study investigates the molecular basis of a novel allosteric property in crocodilian hemoglobin by resurrecting ancestral proteins and performing directed mutagenesis.

This study examines how hematological traits influence elevational ranges of Andean birds, finding that plasticity and reduced local variation near range limits are linked to oxygen availability constraints.

This study provides the first experimental evidence that bicarbonate binds directly to crocodilian hemoglobin, promoting O2 delivery independently of CO2.

This study shows that genetic variation in haemoglobin affects breathing patterns in high-altitude deer mice, independent of its role in oxygen transport.

This study investigates how penguins evolved increased hemoglobin-oxygen affinity and Bohr effect to enhance diving capabilities by optimizing oxygen extraction and release during breath-hold dives.

This study shows that increased hemoglobin-O2 affinity in high-altitude deer mice only benefits aerobic thermogenesis if paired with improved tissue O2 diffusion capacity.

The paper shows that selection maintains adaptive division-of-labor between tandem duplicates of ATP1A1 in frogs, countering gene conversion to confer toxin resistance.

The paper identifies a developmental shift in gene expression in Tibetan antelopes that leads to increased blood-O2 affinity through juvenile hemoglobin isoform replacement, and reveals the genomic mechanism of this adaptation.

The paper reports the discovery of a mouse at 6739 m altitude, setting a new world record for mammalian altitude, highlighting underexplored high-altitude regions.

The paper examines how mutation bias at CpG dinucleotides influences adaptive molecular evolution by analyzing convergent changes in hemoglobin function across high-altitude birds.
