High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

A Novel Antioxidant Peptide Cath‐Np Derived from Nanorana parkeri Attenuates UVB‐Induced Skin Photodamage in Mice

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of Cath‐Np as an antioxidant suppressing acute skin damage caused by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in mice. Cath‐Np inhibits the activation of p53 and mitogen‐activated protein kinase pathways while it activates the Nrf2 pathway by its strong antioxidant effects, and accordingly suppresses the expression of inflammatory factors

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present a source model for the 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake of northwest India. The slip distribution suggests a high stress drop (~35 MPa) and, together with the depth distribution of aftershocks, that the entire crust is seismogenic. We suggest that

Food System Change, Development, and Vulnerability in Semi‐Agricultural Areas of Tibet

open access: yesCulture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With social and economic development, food systems have significantly changed on the Tibetan plateau over the last two decades. However, the impact of dietary change on Tibetans and their communities remains less well known. This article examines how food change happens in semi‐agricultural areas of eastern Tibet within the context of ...
