Cardiovascular adjustments during locomotion in penguins
The high costs of airborne flapping flight are reflected in a difference between the oxygen pulse (OP; amount of oxygen consumed per heart beat) during flight and that during terrestrial locomotion, as well as a difference in the relationship between heart rate (f H ) and rate of oxygen consumption...

The high costs of airborne flapping flight are reflected in a difference between the oxygen pulse (OP; amount of oxygen consumed per heart beat) during flight and that during terrestrial locomotion, as well as a difference in the relationship between heart rate (f H ) and rate of oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text] O2 ). We tested and failed to accept the hypothesis that there would be similar differences in the f H –[Formula: see text] O2 and [Formula: see text] O2 –OP relationships during swimming under water and during walking for macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus (Brandt, 1837)). We suggest that this may be a result of the penguins having to overcome physical forces different from those experienced by volant birds and possibly a response to limited access to oxygen while porpoising or diving. This result has important implications for those who wish to use f H to estimate [Formula: see text] O2 and hence metabolic rate in the field for this and similar species.
