Consistent changes in muscle metabolism underlie dive performance across multiple lineages of diving ducks

Diving animals must sustain high activity with limited O(2) stores to successfully capture prey. Studies suggest that increasing body O(2) stores supports breath-hold diving, but less is known about metabolic specializations that underlie underwater locomotion. We measured maximal activities of 10 k...
