Maximum running speed of captive bar-headed geese is unaffected by severe hypoxia.

Maximum running speed of captive bar-headed geese is unaffected by severe hypoxia.

While bar-headed geese are renowned for migration at high altitude over the Himalayas, previous work on captive birds suggested that these geese are unable to maintain rates of oxygen consumption while running in severely hypoxic conditions. To investigate this paradox, we re-examined the running pe...
