Thermoregulatory Strategies of Diving Air-Breathing Marine Vertebrates: A Review

The aquatic habitat of marine “air-breathing” vertebrates provides a significant thermoregulatory challenge due to the high thermal conductivity of water. In addition to temperature changes across their range, air-breathing vertebrates experience temperature changes on the timescale of seconds to mi...
