dc.description.abstract | The decrease in erythrocyte size of animals live at high altitudes yields an evolutionary advantage to survive byproviding adaptation to colder temperatures and low partial oxygen pressures. We examined the effect of geographicalchanges on the erythrocyte morphology of two terrapins, Emys orbicularis and Mauremys rivulata, and analyzed whether sucherythrocyte characteristics as size and volume changed at high altitudes and different temperatures. We found out that theerythrocyte characteristics varied both within and between the populations. They varied depending on altitude for E.orbicularis and on temperature for M. rivulata. However, the erythrocyte characteristics were not correlated with theenvironmental parameters, except between sunshine duration and erythrocyte length, size, and nucleus volume for E.orbicularis. | en_US |
