Respiratory properties of blood in awake and estivating lungfish, Protopterus amphibius.
(1976-09)
Blood respiratory properties have been studied in awake and estivating African lungfish, Protopterus amphibius. Fish had been estivating 28-30 months when blood was sampled. Hematocrit, O2 capacity and blood hemoglobin ...
The water metabolism of a small East African antelope: the dik-dik
(1973-11)
1. In controlled laboratory experiments, rectal temperature, cutaneous moisture evaporation, and respiratory rate were studied in the dik-dik. The water balance of the dik-dik was investigated when the antelope were either ...
