Temperature insensitive O2 in blood of the tree frogChiromantis petersi
(Springer-Verlag, 1980)
Respiratory gas exchange and blood respiratory properties have been studied in the East-African tree frogChiromantis petersi. This frog is unusually xerophilous, occupies dry habitats and prefers body temperatures near ...
Functional properties of hemoglobins in the teleost Tilapia grahami
(Springer-Verlag, 1975)
The oxygen binding properties ofTilapia grahami hemoglobins have been investigated. The whole blood hemolysate possesses at 35°C a high oxygen affinity (P 50∼ 4.0 mmHg). The O2Hb equilibrium is moderately affected by the ...
Fermentative digestion of food in the colobus monkey, Colobus, polykomos.
(1976-04)
Fermentation of leafy food occurs in the enlarged saccus gastricus of the colobus monkey with the formation of volatile fatty acid, as in the rumen of ruminant animals. About half of the digestible organic matter and ...
Oxygen-binding properties of hemoglobins from estivating and active African lungfish.
(1991-01)
he oxygen-binding characteristics and the multiplicity of the stripped hemoglobiin from active lungfish Protopterus amphibius, are the same as in specimens that have been estivating for about 30 months, showing that ...
Nasal heat exchange in the giraffe and other large mammals.
(North Holland Publishing, 1979-08)
The respiratory air of the giraffe is exhaled at temperatures substantially below body core temperature. As a consequence, the water content of the exhaled air is reduced to levels below that in pulmonary air, resulting ...
The mechanism of intracardiac shunting in the lizard Varanus exanthematicus.
(1983-07)
Intracardiac shunting was studied in unanaesthetized and unrestrained specimens of Varanus exanthematicus by simultaneous injection of radioactively labelled microspheres (15 micron) into the right and left atria. Lung ...
Evaporative water loss in two small African antelopes: the dik-dik and the suni
(1976)
1.
1. In controlled laboratory experiments pulmocutaneous water loss, respiratory rate, rectal and skin temperatures of the dik-dik (Rhynchotragus Kirkii) and the suni (Nesotragus moschatus) were measured before and ...
