The Andean adaptive toolkit to counteract high altitude maladaptation: genome-wide and phenotypic analysis of the Collas by Eichstaedt, CA, Antão, T, Pagani, L, Cardona, A, Kivisild, T, Mormina, M

“…Taken together, these findings suggest that Colla highlanders may have evolved a toolkit of adaptative mechanisms resulting in cardiac reinforcement, most likely to counteract the adverse effects of the permanently increased haematocrit and associated shear forces that characterise the Andean response to hypoxia. Regulation of cerebral vascular flow also appears to be part of the adaptive response in Collas. …”

Mush amalgamation, short residence, and sparse detectability of eruptible magma before andean super-eruptions by Weber, G, Blundy, J, Bevan, D

“…Here we show, using Sr isotope zonation in plagioclase crystals from three Andean large-magnitude eruptions (Atana, Toconao, and Tara ignimbrites), that eruptible magma forms by amalgamation of isotopically diverse crystal populations and silicic melt without large-scale reheating. …”

Root biomass and production by two cushion plant species of tropical high-elevation peatlands in the Andean páramo by Esteban Suárez, Segundo Chimbolema, Rodney A. Chimner, Erik A. Lilleskov

“…Here we report on the patterns of root biomass productivity and turnover rates for two cushion plant species (Distichia muscoides, Plantago rigida) that commonly dominate high-elevation peatlands (> 4200 m a.s.l.) in the Andean páramo landscape of Northern Ecuador. Root biomass for P. rigida ranged from 680 to 864 g m-2 and was approximately 40 % higher than for D. muscoides (507–620 g m-2). …”
