Blood chemistry values in three Pygoscelis penguins
Analyses of 23 blood chemistry values were made in blood from 26 Antarctic penguins representing three different species Pygoscelis adeliae, Pygoscelis antarctica and Pygoscelis papua. Means, standard deviations and differences between species using multiple range test were obtained for each paramet...
