Birds do not work harder to breathe

Birds do not work harder to breathe.

An efficient one-way airflow system is essential for bird flight. Extracting more oxygen per breath than mammals, birds can meet the costly fuel demands of flight. However, despite the gains achieved by maximising the amount of oxygen passing through their lungs, the metabolic cost of breathing for birds could be high. Birds were thought to have to work against the weight of their flight muscle...

Collaborative WorkBench for researchers - Work smarter, not harder

As scientists work to understand the complex interactions in the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, biosphere, surface, and interior, they increasingly find themselves working with a more diverse set of data, complex science algorithms, and models. However, each new dataset, algorithm, or model requires its own knowledge base to obtain reliable and useful results. Acquiring this knowledge base can be ...
