Human adaptation to high‐altitude: A contemporary comparison of the oxygen cascade in Andean, Tibetan and Ethiopian highlanders

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 849-865, 1 March 2026.
Abstract Human populations native to high altitude have evolved distinct physiological adaptations to chronic hypoxia. This adaptation is evident in the O2 transport cascade. In this review, with brief inclusion of the related genetic adaptations, we compare the O2 cascade across three well‐characterized high‐altitude populations: Andeans (Aymara and ...

Born high, born fast: Does highland birth confer a pulmonary advantage for sea level endurance?

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 11, Page 1625-1638, November 1, 2025.
Abstract Less than 7% of the world's population live at an altitude above 1500 m. Yet, as many as 67% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic marathon, and 100% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic 5000 m track race may have been born or raised above this otherwise rare threshold.

DEBT AND THE AMERICAN DREAM: The Specter of Debt and Its Invisible Violence among Irregular Migrants from Nepal

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 597-620, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Drawing on research with irregular migrants from Nepal who borrow up to $60,000 to reach the United States, this article explores what I call the invisible slow violence of debt. By focusing on how debt is embodied in cases of spirit possession, tension, and dis‐ease among migrants and their families—the article demonstrates how debt can ...

Kings of the Forest: The Cultural Resilience of Himalayan Hunter–Gatherers

, 2011
Several months ago, my colleagues at Utah State University began discussing how anthropology could better contribute to the popular discourse on climate change, particularly in mountain areas of the world. So much of the climate science, it seemed to us,

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Walking and Perceptions of Danger in Various Cities

City &Society, Volume 37, Issue 2, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Taking inspiration from Mauss' classic idea of walking as one of many “techniques of the body,” this essay reflects on how perceptions of danger shape how one walks in various cities. I draw on my own research on the limits and possibilities of quantified walking as well as on urban experiences I have had in my life.

Areas of High Biodiversity Value Evidenced by the Spatial Scaling of Phylogenetic Uniqueness

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
Phylogenetic endemism is the most efficient single criterion to maximise global phylogenetic diversity within the smallest land area, and can be complemented with the spatial scaling of phylogenetic uniqueness which allows distinguishing globally distinct but regionally less unique sites ‘(evolutionary hills)’ from highly irreplaceable sites even at ...

Indigenous Peoples and local communities report ongoing and widespread climate change impacts on local social-ecological systems

Communications Earth & Environment
The effects of climate change depend on specific local circumstances, posing a challenge for worldwide research to comprehensively encompass the diverse impacts on various local social-ecological systems. Here we use a place-specific but cross-culturally
