Circulation
- Interspecific scaling of blood flow rates and arterial sizes in mammals
Summary: Blood flow rates determine artery sizes in mammals, independent of body mass.
- Splitting of circulating red blood cells as an in vivo mechanism of erythrocyte maturation in developing zebrafish, chick and mouse embryos
Summary: Splitting of circulating nucleated red blood cells occurs in fish, chick and mouse embryos, often by tangling at vascular pillars, and promotes either cell division (fish, mouse) or maturation (chick).
- Structural and functional characterization of the contractile aorta and associated hemocytes of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae
Summary: Structural mechanics of hemolymph flow through the aorta and conical chamber of the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.
- Neck length and mean arterial pressure in the sauropod dinosaurs
Summary: Adequate perfusion of the sauropod dinosaur brain is explained by the siphon principle, and maximum neck length in the fossil record may therefore be due to the siphon height limit.
