Cardiorespiratory responses to hypoxia in high- and low-altitude geese and ducks
High-altitude (HA) life is challenging due to the reduced partial pressure of oxygen (hypoxia). Hence, HA vertebrates have evolved increased capacities in their oxygen transport cascade enhancing oxygen transfer. The extent of interspecies variation in these responses within waterfowl, a taxon proli...
