Hemoglobin affinity for oxygen in three subspecies of toads (Bufo sp.) living at different altitudes

Blood oxygen affinity and red blood cell properties were measured in three subspecies of genus Bufo: Bufo spinulosus limensis, collected at sea level and at an average day temperature of 20ºC; Bufo spinulosus trifolium, from 3100 m, average day temperature of 15ºC; and Bufo spinulosus flavolineatus,...
