Bjarke Jensen,Bastiaan J. Boukens,Bastiaan J. Boukens,Dane A. Crossley,Justin Conner,Rajiv A Mohan,Karel van Duijvenboden,Alex V. Postma,Christopher R Gloschat,Ruth M. Elsey,David Sedmera,Igor R. Efimov,Vincent M. Christoffels +12 more
TL;DR: It is proposed the evolution of the atrioventricular bundle followed full ventricular septum formation prior to the development of high heart rates and endothermy, which is strongly associated with high heart Rates and Endothermy.
The electrocardiogram of vertebrates: Evolutionary changes from ectothermy to endothermy
Bastiaan J. Boukens,Ditte L. Kristensen,Renato Filogonio,Laura Borelli Thomaz Carreira,Marina R. Sartori,Augusto S. Abe,Shannon E. Currie,William Joyce,Justin Conner,Tobias Opthof,Dane A. Crossley,Tobias Wang,Bjarke Jensen +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the effects of temperature on intervals in the ECG of ectothermic and endothermic vertebrates rather than a hypothesis-testing original research article is presented.

Embryonic hypoxia programmes postprandial cardiovascular function in adult common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina).
TL;DR: During embryonic development in underground nests, reptiles routinely experience hypoxia, which programmes cardiovascular physiology into adulthood, dictating convective transport during periods of elevated oxygen demand.
Metabolic responses to chronic hypoxic incubation in embryonic American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis).
Dane A. Crossley,Rick Ling,Derek Nelson,Taylor Gillium,Justin Conner,James Hapgood,Ruth M. Elsey,John Eme +7 more
TL;DR: Phenotypic changes resulting from hypoxic incubation early in incubation, in particular relative cardiac enlargement, enable embryonic alligators to sustain metabolic rate during acute hypoxic exposure.

Does the left aorta provide proton-rich blood to the gut when crocodilians digest a meal?
TL;DR: The findings do not support the hypothesis that a R–L shunt serves to deliver CO2 for the gastrointestinal system after feeding in crocodilians, and blood in the left aorta of American alligators does not contain elevated PCO2 levels during digestion.
