Convergent changes in muscle metabolism depend on duration of high-altitude ancestry across Andean waterfowl

High-altitude environments require that animals meet the metabolic O2 demands for locomotion and thermogenesis in O2-thin air, but the degree to which convergent metabolic changes have arisen across independent high-altitude lineages or the speed at which such changes arise is unclear. We examined s...
