Symmorphosis in the proximal pathway for oxygen in the leaf-eared mouse Phyllotis darwini
In this report, we explore the matching of structures to functional needs by comparing previously reported data of maximal oxygen consumption and the development of the lung in the leaf-eared mouse Phyllotis darwini in warm and cold environments. We discuss whether the state of structural design is...
