Thermoregulation, gas exchange, and ventilation
Summary. Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) experience a wide range of ambient temperatures (T,) in their natural habitat. We examined body temperature (Tb), oxygen consumption (l)o~), carbon dioxide production (V co2), evaporative water loss (rhH2o), and ventilation at T ~ from--20 to 30 ~ Body t...
