Deciphering the genomic characters of Ptygonotus chinghaiensis, a high-altitude grasshopper endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, using low-coverage short-read sequencing

This study offers the first genome-wide characterization of a Qinghai-Tibet Plateau-endemic grasshopper, providing critical resources for understanding high-altitude adaptation and genomic evolution. These findings enhance our knowledge of adaptive mechanisms in extreme environments and the evolutionary dynamics of plateau-endemic insects.
