Physiology of the dik-dik antelope.
(1988)
1. The East African dik-dik antelope represents a miniature model ruminant for comparative studies. 2. Dik-diks are browsers, consuming a diet consistently high in fermentable and digestable plant material. 3. Their foregut ...
Aspects of digestion and in vitro fermentation in the caecum of some East African herbivores
(1991)
Caecal digestive functions were compared in 22 species of East African herbivores. Comparisons were made between ruminant pseudo-ruminant, and non-ruminant herbivores to assess the relative in vitro fermentation rate and ...

Molar proportions of volatile fatty acids in the gastrointestinal tract of East African wild ruminants.
(1983)
The molar proportions of seven individual VFA's were determined at select sites along the gastrointestinal tract of sixteen species of East African wild ruminants. The resulting data were statistically analyzed for species ...
The design and the role of the nasal passages in temperature regulation in the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii) with observations on the carotid rete.
(1984-05)
xhaled air temperatures (Tex) and rectal temperatures (Trec) were measured in five dik-dik antelopes under controlled environmental temperatures (Ta) between 15 and 40 degrees C. In addition morphometric analysis of the ...
Temperature acclimation in the pancake tortoise, Malacochersus tornieri: Metabolic rate, blood pH, oxygen affinity and red cell organic phosphates
(Elsevier, 1978)
1. The effect of temperature acclimation (20 and 35°C) on blood gases, pH and the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve was studied in the pancake tortoise.
2.
2. Cold-acclimated tortoises had blood with a lower O2 affinity ...
