| thermal acclimation and seasonal variations of erythrocyte size in the andean mouse phyllotis xanthopygus rupestris. | seasonal hematological adjustments in small mammals may include changes in the number and size of the red cells or changes in other linked blood parameters. the direction and magnitude of these changes vary in different species. we hypothesized that the observed variations of the red cell adjustments could be directly related to the magnitude of the seasonal temperature differential, and predicted that the annual red cell size variation in rodents from environments with marked seasonal changes w ... | 2004 | 15596384 |
