Visual deprivation induces a stronger dive response in a harbor porpoise

iScience, 2023
Summary: The dive response allows marine mammals to perform prolonged breath-hold dives to access rich marine prey resources. Via dynamic adjustments of peripheral vasoconstriction and bradycardia, oxygen consumption can be tailored to breath-hold ...
