Large‐Scale Genomics Reveals Three‐Source Ancestry and Layered Adaptation to High Altitude in Tibetan Chickens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐genome analysis of 1,054 chickens reveals three ancestral sources (NWC, SYA, and SHF) with distinct temporal entry patterns into the Tibetan Plateau. Route‐specific selection scans, calibrated against a demographic null, suggest complementary functional enrichments—vascular homeostasis (NWC), calcium signaling and cardiac adaptation (SYA), and ...

Pathological Mechanism‐Inspired Biomimetic Nano‐Senotherapy for Reversing Experimental Atherosclerosis in ApoE−/− Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The biomimetic self‐assembly nanomedicine reversing atherosclerosis via senotherapy strategy. ABSTRACT The greatest challenge in atherosclerosis (AS) management lies in achieving lesion reversal, not merely slowing progression. Senescent cell accumulation—driven by continuous generation and apoptotic resistance—perpetuates plaque pathology and ...

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Ongoing Speciation in the Tibetan Plateau Gymnocypris Species Complex

, 2013
Local adaptation towards divergent ecological conditions often results in genetic differentiation and adaptive phenotypic divergence. To illuminate the ecological distinctiveness of the schizothoracine fish, we studied a Gymnocypris species complex ...

Independent leaf and root responses to autumn freezing in perennial herbs: Insights from cutting and transplant manipulations

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
In this study, we compared two sampling approaches to assess autumn freezing resistance. Our goal was to determine whether the commonly employed cutting method, which disrupts root‐tissue connectivity, provides a valid measure of true freezing resistance.

Degradation of Seasonally Frozen Ground in the Three–River Source Region and Its Correlation Impact Within Precipitation–Runoff Process

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how climate change alters the water cycle in the Three Rivers Source region by degrading its important ‘solid groundwater’ (seasonally frozen ground). We found that runoff response varies by watershed and the role of permafrost decreases sharply, making water supply more dependent on rainfall and becoming increasingly vulnerable ...

Checklist of national key protected wild plants on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2023
Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a global biodiversity hotspot due to the unique geographical environment. However, there are few reports on the list of national key protected plants and the distribution pattern of their diversity in this area.

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Evidence for an abrupt climatic reversal during the Last Interglacial on the northeast Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

, 2006
Climatic change over Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is controlled by alternation of the plateau summer and winter monsoon circulation, which is triggered by thermodynamic and kinetic effects of the high plateau morphology.
