Diving energetics and temperature regulation of the star-nosed mole, Condylura cristata, with comparisons to non-aquatic talpids and the water shrew, Sorex palustris
The dive performance, oxygen storage capacity, partitioning of body oxygen reserves and thermoregulatory competence of one of the world's smallest mammalian divers, the star-nosed mole, 'Condylura cristata', were investigated. Only 2.9% of voluntary dives by adult and juvenile star-no...
