The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

High Altitude Adaptation in Tibetans

High Altitude Medicine and Biology, 2006
Since the beginning of the Himalayan climbing era, the anecdotal extraordinary physical performance at high altitude of Sherpas and Tibetans has intrigued scientists interested in altitude adaptation. These ethnic groups may have been living at high altitude for longer than any other population, and the hypothesis of a possible evolutionary genetic ...

Adaptation of Olfactory Threshold at High Altitude

, 2014
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the extreme environment of high altitude hypoxia on olfactory threshold. The study was conducted before, during, and after a scientific expedition to Mera Peak (5,800 m). The n-butanol test was used for the assessment of the magnitude of the olfactory threshold.

Mitochondrial DNA response to high altitude: A new perspective on high-altitude adaptation

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
Mitochondria are the energy metabolism centers of the cell. More than 95% of cellular energy is produced by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Hypoxia affects a wide range of energy generation and consumption processes in animals. The most important mechanisms limiting ATP consumption increase the efficiency of ATP production and accommodate the ...

Genetic signatures of high-altitude adaptation in Tibetans

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017
Indigenous Tibetan people have lived on the Tibetan Plateau for millennia. There is a long-standing question about the genetic basis of high-altitude adaptation in Tibetans.

Adaptation to High Altitude

Annual Review of Anthropology, 1983
The high altitude environment poses a severe challenge for human adaptation. The availability of our most vital nutrient, oxygen, is reduced at high altitudes. Human beings cannot live without oxygen for more than a few minutes, yet its supply is reduced by one-half at the highest altitudes at which human populations live.

High Altitude Adaptation: Genetic Perspectives

High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2008
The goal of this review is to highlight the underlying genetics that may explain complex traits associated with high altitude adaptation. The review covers the traditional candidate gene approach for identifying molecular variants having a functional role and associating with high altitude adaptation and disorders.

Adaptations to High-Altitude Hypoxia

2021
Biological anthropologists aim to explain the hows and whys of human biological variation using the concepts of evolution and adaptation. High-altitude environments provide informative natural laboratories with the unique stress of hypobaric hypoxia, which is less than usual oxygen in the ambient air arising from lower barometric pressure.
