Gas exchange dynamics in bottlenose dolphins around 2 min apneas conform to values for terrestrial mammals Summary: When recovering from apnea, bottlenose dolphins have very high oxygen extractions, but only for very few breaths, highlighting that marine mammals probably have similar acid–base physiology t...

🐬 #GasExchange Dynamics In #BottlenoseDolphins Around 2 Min Apneas Conform To Values For Terrestrial Mammals 🐘🐄 Researchers from our lab found a long-needed answer studying bottlenose dolphins. #marinemammals #physiology #research #divingphysiology doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

This study provides unique insights into human physiological adaptation and challenges assumptions about the diving response in experienced free divers.
