| the relationship between cardiopulmonary size and aerobic performance in adult deer mice at high altitude. | deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus sonoriensis) populations in the white mountains of eastern california are found across a substantial range of partial pressures of oxygen (po₂). reduction in po₂ at high altitude can have a negative impact on aerobic performance. we studied plastic changes in organ mass and volume involved in aerobic respiration in response to acclimation to high altitude, and how those changes are matched with aerobic performance measured by vo₂,max. adult deer mice born and ra ... | 2014 | 25147245 |
| effects of altitude and temperature on organ phenotypic plasticity along an altitudinal gradient. | small mammals living in high-altitude environments must endure decreased ambient temperatures and hypoxic conditions relative to sea-level environments. previously, it was noted that heart, lung and digestive tract masses and blood hematocrit increase along an altitudinal gradient in small mammals. increases in digestive organ mass were attributed to lower ambient temperatures and greater food intake, and increases in lung mass and hematocrit were attributed to hypoxia, but these assumptions wer ... | 2001 | 11441040 |
