Blood oxygen depletion is independent of dive function in a deep diving vertebrate, the northern elephant seal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Although energetics is fundamental to animal ecology, traditional methods of determining metabolic rate are neither direct nor instantaneous. Recently, continuous blood oxygen (O2) measurements were used to assess energy expenditure in diving elephant ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Journal of Travel Medicine, 1994 Caroline Fife points out in her article in this issue of theJournal of Travel Medicine that 30% of today’s divers in the US, who dive for sport, are female. Though few research studies and surveys exist on the topic of pregnancy and hyperbaric exposure, meager gleanings do point to the opinion that pregnancy should contraindicate diving. Dr.
