Key Findings
- Researchers at Hunan Normal University studied how the spider Pardosa pseudoannulata adapts to low oxygen environments
- The spider adjusts its energy metabolism and antioxidant levels to survive in hypoxic conditions
- Key molecules like ATP, D-glucose 6-phosphate, and L-glutathione showed significant changes under low oxygen
