Pulmonary compliance and lung volume varies with ecomorphology in anuran amphibians: Implications for ventilatory-assisted lymph flux
Vertical movement of lymph from ventral regions to the dorsally located lymph hearts in anurans is accomplished by specialized skeletal muscles working in concert with lung ventilation. We hypothesize that more terrestrial species with greater lymph mobilization capacities and higher lymph flux rate...
