Physiological insight into the evolution of complex phenotypes: aerobic performance and the O2 transport pathway of vertebrates.

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary physiology strives to understand how the function and integration of physiological systems influence the way in which organisms evolve. Studies of the O2 transport pathway - the integrated physiological system that transports O2 from the environment to mitochondria - are well suited to this endeavour. We consider the mechanistic underpinnings across the O2 pathway for the evolution of aerobic...
