Interplay between the morphometry of the lungs and the mode of locomotion in birds and mammals
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2007)
We studied the lung diffusion parameters of two species of birds and two species of mammals to explore how
structural and functional features may be paralleled by differences in life style or phylogenetic origin. We
used ...
Ecosystem roles and conservation status of bioturbator mammals
(2022-04-01)
The action of biological reworking of soils is referred to as bioturbation, and many species of mammals globally have an important role in soil disturbance, modifying ecosystem characteristics. We examined global patterns ...
Relações biogeográficas de mamíferos na região central da América do Sul
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBRCiências BiológicasUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biodiversidade Animal, 2009-02-27)
The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of climatic and physiographic
variables in the geographic distribution of non-flying mammals in a central region of South
America. To examine the relationships ...
Pulmonary hematological parameters, energetic flight demands and their correlation with oxygen diffusion capacity in the lungs
(2007)
Hematological parameters of birds and mammals seem to respond to environmental requirements, such as hypoxia at high altitude and the energetic demands of locomotion and flight. In this work we hypothesize that lung capillary ...
Key to cranial and mandibular remains of non-flying small mammals from southern South America
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
Reliable identification of small mammal bone remains is crucial for several disciplines, including archaeology, biogeography, ecology, paleontology, taxonomy, and taphonomy. However, this issue is usually a challenging ...
