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 ...
A comparison of gastrointestinal water content and osmolality in East African herbivores during hydration and dehydration
(University of Nairobi, 1978-07)
A wealth of information is available concerning the ‘normal’ gastrointestinal mechanisms within various species of herbivores (Alexander, 1962; Church, 1971; Quarterman, Phillips & Lampkin, 1957). In addition, the effect ...
