Evolved increases in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity and the Bohr effect coincided with the aquatic specialization of penguins
Dive capacities of air-breathing vertebrates are dictated by onboard O(2) stores, suggesting that physiologic specialization of diving birds such as penguins may have involved adaptive changes in convective O(2) transport. It has been hypothesized that increased hemoglobin (Hb)-O(2) affinity improve...
