It showed a constancy across the range reflecting adjustment of the total surface area of erythrocytes in relation to blood haemoglobin concentration. This conclusion is based on an inverse correlation between the numbers and sizes of red blood cells.}, type={Text}, title={Body mass dependence of the haemoglobin content to surface area ratio of avian erythrocytes}, volume={36}, number={2}, journal={Acta Ornithologica}, publisher={Muzeum i Instytut Zoologii PAN}, keywords={birds, physiology, haemoglobin, erythrocytes, body mass, Aves}, }
