Comparative physiology of Australian echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus)

The short-beaked echidna has a combination of ancestral and derived physiological traits. Its physiology is less primitive than previously thought, with many aspects being typically mammalian, including a previously unrecognised capacity for evaporative heat loss. Echidnas have considerable metaboli...
