Peter Southwood, I don't do physiology, I'm a population modeller - but I know there's any amount of papers on diving physiology in penguins in particular. Mostly paywalled, natch. If you can give me an idea what topics you are looking for, I could pull & send you a bunch? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:30, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Elmidae, Strictly speaking I don't do physiology either, I am an engineer and a diving educationalist, but we chip in when and where we can if no-one else is doing what is needed, and this is interesting. Most useful would be review articles on the adaptations for diving of penguins, if such a thing is available, or I might be able to select from a list of titles.

Peter Southwood: Found a few articles that sound promising. In particular there's several interesting reviews by one P.J. Butler.

Elliott, K. H., Ricklefs, R. E., Gaston, A. J., Hatch, S. A., Speakman, J. R., & Davoren, G. K. (2013). High flight costs, but low dive costs, in auks support the biomechanical hypothesis for flightlessness in penguins. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 110(23), 9380-9384.
If these sound useful, I can email you the lot. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 02:51, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like I can access some of them online, so not much point in sending those. Give me a day or two to see what I can access myself. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood(talk): 19:51, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Elmidae:, The three below might be useful to email. The others I can read online. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood(talk): 05:11, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Schreer, J. F., & Kovacs, K. M. (1997). Allometry of diving capacity in air-breathing vertebrates. Canadian Journal of Zoology, 75(3), 339-358.

@Pbsouthwood: Sure. I believe for that to work, you might have to drop me an email so that I have an address to send attachments to (can't attach anything to WP emails). --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:30, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
