Endothermic homeothermy

Another physical constraint to endothermic homeothermy is the rate of heat loss during respiratory gas exchange, especially in water. The oxygen concentration in water is only about one-fortieth that of air, but water s heat capacity exceeds that of air by approximately... [Pg.381]

In light of the constraints that animals face in developing endothermic homeothermy, it may... [Pg.388]

Mammals and birds are the only groups of animals having a capacity for effective systemic endothermic homeothermy. The origin of this important capacity has long intrigued physiol-... [Pg.396]
