Pulmonary hematological parameters, energetic flight demands and their correlation with oxygen diffusion capacity in the lungs

Hematological parameters of birds and mammals seem to respond to environmental requirements, such as hypoxia at high altitude and the energetic demands of locomotion and flight. In this work we hypothesize that lung capillary hematocrit and red blood size may be influenced by the energetic requireme...
