Andean coot
High altitude adaptation
I will add a new section and the heading will be physiology. I would add this under the section I created.
The Andean coot is found in both North and South America.[1] As they are found at a wide range of different altitudes, the populations that live at high altitudes have adapted physiologically to a low-oxygen environment. For example, Andean coots living at altitude have more capillaries per square millimeter of muscle compared to Andean coots living at sea level.[1]
