Fig. 8. Responses in internal oxygen partial pressure
(PO2) and heart rate (fH,
open squares) of differently sized (small, medium, large: 1.5±0.12,
2.5±0.3, 3.3±0.13 mm) Hb-poor and Hb-rich Daphnia magna
to decreasing ambient oxygen partial pressures
(PO2amb). The haemolymph
PO2 is given for the carapace lacuna (loading
PO2, open circles), the dorsal lacuna (open
diamonds), the heart region (open triangles), and the central body region
(unloading PO2, closed triangles). The dotted
lines represent lines of identity where
PO2=PO2amb.
