Molecular and physicochemical characterization of hemoglobin from the high-altitude Taiwanese brown-toothed shrew (Episoriculus fumidus)Kevin L Campbell
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Manitoba, 50 Sifton Road, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2, Canada
J Comp Physiol B 182:821-9. 2012..Notably, however, the limited data available suggest these latter attributes may be widespread among shrews and hence likely are not adaptations to chronic altitudinal hypoxia per se...
Substitutions in woolly mammoth hemoglobin confer biochemical properties adaptive for cold toleranceKevin L Campbell
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
Nat Genet 42:536-40. 2010..This powerful new approach to directly analyze the genetic and structural basis of physiological adaptations in an extinct species adds an important new dimension to the study of natural selection...
Molecular basis of a novel adaptation to hypoxic-hypercapnia in a strictly fossorial moleKevin L Campbell
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
BMC Evol Biol 10:214. 2010..g., 2,3-diphosphoglycerate; DPG), or by suppressing the sensitivity of Hb to these physiological cofactors...
Origin and mechanism of thermal insensitivity in mole hemoglobins: a test of the 'additional' chloride binding site hypothesisAnthony V Signore
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Manitoba, 50 Sifton Road, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2, Canada

Diving experience and the aerobic dive capacity of muskrats: does training produce a better diver?Robert A MacArthur
Department of Zoology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2
J Exp Biol 206:1153-61. 2003..8 s). Few differences were observed in the post-training dive behaviour of 'surface swimmers' and 'divers', a finding consistent with the strong similarity in their calculated aerobic dive capacities...
Body oxygen stores, aerobic dive limits and diving behaviour of the star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) and comparisons with non-aquatic talpidsIan W McIntyre
Department of Zoology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2
J Exp Biol 205:45-54. 2002..We suggest that a high mass-specific O(2) storage capacity and relatively low metabolic cost of submergence are key contributors to the impressive dive performance of these diminutive insectivores...
Feasting, fasting and freezing: energetic effects of meal size and temperature on torpor expression by little brown bats Myotis lucifugusAmanda L Matheson
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3T 2N2
J Exp Biol 213:2165-73. 2010..e. the heat increment of feeding) to substitute for active thermogenesis at sub-thermoneutral temperatures, thereby reducing the energetic costs of thermoregulation prior to torpor entry...
