Cellular Respiration in Scarce Oxygen: Hummingbird Adaptations at High Altitudes
New research finds that hummingbird species living at high altitudes have evolved hemoglobin with enhanced oxygen-binding properties so they can thrive in oxygen-poor environments. A team of scientists demonstrate how hummingbirds adapt to life at high altitudes.
