Ribcage Morphology in Native South American Populations From Different Altitudes: Insights From a Global Comparative Framework. [PDF]

Am J Hum Biol
ABSTRACT Objectives Altitude shapes human morphology as highland populations must cope with cold and hypoxic environments. Although Andean highlanders have been proposed to exhibit larger and deeper ribcages, this idea is mainly based on research using disarticulated skeletal elements or non‐South American controls. The objective of this research is to

Human adaptation to high-altitude: A contemporary comparison of the oxygen cascade in Andean, Tibetan and Ethiopian highlanders. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
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 ...

Addressing Anemia in High-Altitude Populations: Global Impact, Prevalence, Challenges, and Potential Solutions. [PDF]

Am J Hematol
Key challenges in diagnosing anemia in high‐altitude populations include variability in hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, associated pathological conditions, altitude‐induced plasma volume changes, and environmental factors such as contamination and nutrition.

Dysregulated Fatty Acid Metabolism in Preeclampsia Among Highland Andeans: Insights Into Adaptive and Maladaptive Placental Metabolic Phenotypes. [PDF]

FASEB J
Multi‐omic profiling of highland Andeans reveals adaptive fetal haplotypes associated with favorable placental metabolic phenotypes, while preeclampsia is marked by dysregulated fatty acid oxidation and acylcarnitine accumulation across maternal‐placental‐fetal compartments. Metabolomic profiling showed widespread accumulation of medium‐ and long‐chain

Physiological Differences Underlying Divergent Hypoxia Responses and Altitude Adaptations in Humans, Rats and Mice. [PDF]

Compr Physiol
Despite many physiological similarities, mice, rats and humans respond remarkably differently to hypoxia. In line with their high‐altitude phylogeographic history, mice are physiologically well equipped to deal better with high‐altitude hypoxia than humans, while the low‐land origin of rats may be associated with a particularly high vulnerability to ...

Amenity Migration in the Alps: Applying Models of Motivations and Effects to 2 Case Studies in Italy

Mountain Research and Development, 2016
Using 2 models, this article illustrates different forms of in-migration in the Alps, the motivations for relocation, and effects of newcomers on their destination areas. Since the 1990s, more and more communities in the European Alps, which had suffered

The New Guinea Highlands evidentiality area [PDF]

Linguistic Typology, 2012
The article presents the first survey of grammaticized evidentiality in a cluster of languages spoken in Papua New Guinea, including the Ok-Oksapmin, Duna-Bogaia, Engan, East and West Kutubuan, and Bosavi families. We compare certain features of these languages and outline how they contribute to the typological understanding of evidentiality.

New Highlander Entrepreneurs in the Swiss Alps

Mountain Research and Development, 2016
Mountain regions are generally seen as depopulating. However, in the European Alps, a new migration trend can be observed that may represent a reversal of out-migration from these regions.
