From mitochondria to mountains, this book explains the emergence, adaptation, and persistence of the snow leopard in the Himalayas. Drawing on research in molecular genetics, paleontology, climate history, and biogeography, it traces how the rise of the Tibetan Plateau created new selective pressures that reshaped physiology, metabolism, and behavior at the cellular level. Central to this narrative is the evolution of mitochondrial genes-particularly ND5-which enabled efficient energy production in thin, oxygen-poor air. By linking tectonic uplift with molecular innovation, this book reveals…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
From mitochondria to mountains, this book explains the emergence, adaptation, and persistence of the snow leopard in the Himalayas. Drawing on research in molecular genetics, paleontology, climate history, and biogeography, it traces how the rise of the Tibetan Plateau created new selective pressures that reshaped physiology, metabolism, and behavior at the cellular level. Central to this narrative is the evolution of mitochondrial genes-particularly ND5-which enabled efficient energy production in thin, oxygen-poor air. By linking tectonic uplift with molecular innovation, this book reveals how geology and biology formed a shared evolutionary pathway that produced one of the world's most specialized and elusive predators.
