ScienceAndean leaf-eared mouse adapts to an unrivalled high life
Researchers say the Andean leaf-eared mouse is thriving on high volcanic summits where humans cannot live. The resilient rodent has evolved an unusual combination of metabolic and genetic adaptations. These changes help it survive across the broadest elevation range yet known for any mammal. The findings highlight how life can persist in extreme environments.
