Some partially-submerged aquatic plants, such as the water lily, have large and flat leaves grow above the surface of water, allowing it to obtain sunlight for photosynthesis. The stomata of such leaves may be found mostly on the upper side of the leaves to facilitate gaseous exchange with th...
Our study also identified a potentially new GO category for plateau adaptation, respiratory gaseous exchange, as it was significantly enriched in our PSGs list. This category was not found in previous anal- yses for positive selection in other plateau species (yak (B. grunniens), Tibetan boar ...
hypothesis explicates the mechanisms by which cetaceans and other marine mammals minimize nitrogen (N2) absorption while diving. Featuring a unique lung architecture with collapsible alveolar regions, and through the alignment of pulmonary blood flow with these regions, cetaceans can selectively exchange o...
In mature trees, however, leaves from fouled trees had significantly higher density of stomata and stem lenticel, a lower percentage thickness of leaf palisade layer and more layers of lower hypodermis in the leaves, probably for compensating the impeded gaseous exchange functions of the lenticels....

For instance, the hydrophobins allow these cells to breach the air–water interface, prevent water-logging while maintaining permeability to gaseous exchange, enable attachment to hydrophobic surfaces, modify the movement of solutes across the cell wall, and give strength and rigidity to the cell ...
Rather, the larvae are adapted to cope with osmotic problems of their planktonic existence.Gaseous exchange in adult land crabs is carried on not only by the gills but also by the highly vascularized lining of the branchial chambers, and the hemocyanin ot these crabs is adapted to function in...
Furthermore, gaps in the larval case appear to enhance passive gaseous exchange via water flow. We also discuss the functional significance of the glossosomatid case.doi:10.1007/s10201-011-0353-5Jun-ichi OkanoGraduate School of Life SciencesEisuke Kikuchi...
