... the physiological mechanisms of evolutionary adaptation. North American deer mice [ Peromyscus maniculatus (Wagner 1845)] are an excellent model species for studies of high-altitude adaptation. Their native altitudinal range extends from below sea level in Death Valley, CA, USA, to over 4300 m above sea level...
