Fig. 2. Partitioning of gas transfer between the air (lungs) and water (gills/skin)
in P. dolloi (N=11). (A) Absolute rates of O2
uptake (
O2) and
CO2 excretion
(
CO2) derived
from the air (filled component of bar) and water (unfilled component of bar).
The S.E.M. for total (sum of air plus water) gas transfer is
denoted in the upward direction whereas those for aerial or aquatic gas
transfer are denoted in the downward direction. (B) The relative proportions
of aerial
O2 and
CO2.
