In Aneyoshi, the tsunami stone states that "high dwellings ensure the peace and happiness of our descendants".
The coastline of Japan is dotted with stone tablets, bearing warnings like "High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants," and "Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis.
I scoffed then and I scoff now: being the highest dwelling between London and Russia's Ural mountains, 2,000 miles to the east, may be something with which to amuse one's guests, but it does not get over the basic problem.
In the same area, Jerrett et al. (2001) observed that TSP levels were higher in census tracts with higher dwelling values and lower income.
Neighborhood-level deprivation was moderately correlated with these three variables as well; for example, more deprived neighborhoods tended to have higher dwelling density, density of neighborhood destinations (i.e., NDAI), and street connectivity.
In this line, recent works have proposed indicators to describe community changes associated with climate warming, reflecting a generalized trend towards a higher representativeness of high-temperature dwelling species [9].
In addition to needing an increased capacity for oxygen uptake and transport, and a reduced metabolic rate with increased mitochondrial efficiency, high altitude dwelling organisms must cope with higher levels of UV radiation than their lowland counterparts.
Thus, GO categories associated with the functions response to hypoxia, energy metabolism, and response to UV damage were all found to exhibit accelerated divergence in the high altitude dwelling R. chensinensis.
Here, we present deep transcriptome sequencing in two closely related lizards, the high altitude-dwelling Phrynocephalus erythrurus and the lowland-dwelling P. putjatia, to identify candidate genes under positive selection and to explore the convergent evolutionary adaptation of poikilothermic animals to high altitude life.
A whole team of long-distance runners sponsored by Nike lives in a much more elaborate simulated high-altitude dwelling in Portland, Ore.
