Fakta
High-Altitude Life explores the remarkable adaptations that allow animals to thrive in Earth's most challenging high-altitude ecosystems. It reveals how natural selection has shaped unique physiological traits in creatures such as yaks and Andean condors, enabling them to overcome the challenges of thin air, extreme temperatures, and intense solar radiation. The book highlights intriguing facts, such as how some species have developed specialized hemoglobin with a higher affinity for oxygen and increased lung capacity. This book examines the biological mechanisms that underpin survival in these oxygen-poor environments. It begins by introducing the challenges of high-altitude life, then progresses to examine specific adaptations in mammals, birds, and insects. Drawing on physiological studies, genomic analyses, and field observations, the book offers an integrated perspective combining physiological, evolutionary, and ecological viewpoints.
