    PLoS ONE 5:e12113. 2010
    ..Mass structure plays an important role in limiting or facilitating O2 supply, but external factors such as temperature and photosynthesis can play important roles as well. Other external factors are less well understood...

    Justin S McAlister
    Department of Biological Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 7:e41599. 2012
