Diving Response of Mammals and Birds
Arnoldus Schytte Blix
- 01 Jan 1985
TL;DR: An evaluation is made of how much of the bradycardia produced in force-dived seals and ducks can be accounted for by stress and fear.

Simulations of the effect of currently used grenade harpoons for the killing of whales using a pig-model.
TL;DR: Survival time is therefore very short if the animals are hit in the thorax, and is likely to be further reduced if the charge which is currently used is increased, or, even better, if shrapnel (fragment scattering) grenades are used instead of blast grenades.
RESEARCH ARTICLE Regulation of brain temperature in winter-acclimatized reindeer under heat stress

TL;DR: It is proposed that reindeer regulate body and, particularly, brain temperature under heavy heat loads by a combination of panting, at first through the nose, but later, when the heat load and the minute volume requirements increase due to exercise, primarily through the mouth and that they eventually resort to selective brain cooling.

The multifactorial approach to myocardial salvage. The experience from diving seals.
TL;DR: Coronary flow during diving was regulated jointly by a marked reduction in myocardial oxygen requirement (metabolic) and vasoconstrictor control (neurogenic) and therefore have relevance for therapeutic approaches to reduction of myocardia ischemic injury in man.

TL;DR: The results of these experiments showed that the ratio of endocardial to epicardial perfusion was unaltered, even in prolonged diving, indicating that the seal's heart maintained its functional integrity and was not ischemic, despite its low blood flow, throughout the dives.
