Reduced metabolism supports hypoxic flight in the high-flying bar-headed goose (Anser indicus)

The bar-headed goose is famed for migratory flight at extreme altitude. To better understand the physiology underlying this remarkable behavior, we imprinted and trained geese, collecting the first cardiorespiratory measurements of bar-headed geese flying at simulated altitude in a wind tunnel. Meta...
