Molecular basis of a novel adaptation to hypoxic-hypercapnia in a strictly fossorial mole
BACKGROUND: Elevated blood O(2 )affinity enhances survival at low O(2 )pressures, and is perhaps the best known and most broadly accepted evolutionary adjustment of terrestrial vertebrates to environmental hypoxia. This phenotype arises by increasing the intrinsic O(2 )affinity of the hemoglobin (Hb...
