Temperature and the respiratory properties of whole blood in two reptiles, Pogona barbata and Emydura signata

We investigated the capacity of two reptiles, an agamid lizard Pogona barbata and a chelid turtle Emydura signata, to compensate for the effects of temperature by making changes in their whole blood respiratory properties. This was accomplished by measuring the P 50 (at 10, 20 and 30 °C), hematocrit...
