THE PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF DIVING TO DEPTH: Birds and Mammals
TL;DR: The aerobic endurance of four species has now been measured to provide a standard for other species in which the limits cannot be measured and to identify two diving strategies used by animals that dive to depth.

TL;DR: The convergent evolution of high myoglobin net surface charge in mammalian divers increases intermolecular electrostatic repulsion, permitting higher muscle oxygen storage capacities without potentially deleterious self-association of the protein.

Foods and feeding habits of wild and captive Sirenia
TL;DR: The Sirenia along with the elephants and hyraxes form the Super-Order Paenungulata and are represented by three species of manatees, the dugong and the now extinct, Steller's sea cow.

Respiratory adaptations in diving mammals.
TL;DR: The evidence for the presence of oxygen stores in the lungs, blood and systemic musculature of diving mammals, the modifications in the respiratory functions of blood that may be important in utilizing the lung and blood oxygen stores, and the potential importance of the oxygen stores and the respiratory function of blood in supporting short-duration, aerobic dives are examined.
