A novel mechanism for high-altitude adaptation in hemoglobin of black-spotted frog (Pelophylax nigromaculatus)
Understanding how animals living in highland adapt to extreme conditions is critical to evolutionary biology. In contrast to birds and mammals, little information was available on the adaptation mechanisms for O2 transport in high-altitude ectothermic vertebrates. Here we report for the first time o...
