Human responses to extreme altitudes.
It is a strange coincidence that the highest point on Earth is very close to the limit of human tolerance to hypoxia. The physiological changes that allow humans to reach these extreme altitudes involve enormous alterations of their normal state. It is useful to contrast this response with two others to high altitude. One is acclimatization that allows lowlanders to ascend to altitudes of up to...

متن کاملThe Mediterranean Benthic Herbivores Show Diverse Responses to Extreme Storm Disturbances
Catastrophic storms have been observed to be one of the major elements in shaping the standing structure of marine benthic ecosystems. Yet, little is known about the effect of catastrophic storms on ecosystem processes. Specifically, herbivory is the main control mechanism of macrophyte communities in the Mediterranean, with two main key herbivores: the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus and the ...

متن کاملPopulation movement under extreme events.
T he last century has witnessed the fastest population growth in human history, with the result that, for the first time, more than 50% of the world population lives in cities. This process is still advancing. According to United Nations predictions, urban population will exceed 75% of the world’s population by 2070. Furthermore, estimates are that if the current trends continue, by the end of ...
