Introduction,ess. The adaptations we recognize in marine mammals today are the result of ~5 million (sea otters) to 50 million (Cetacea and Sirenia) years of evolution. This book examines adaptations that enable extant marine mammals to perform efficiently and maintain physiological homeostasis in the marine env

The dive response and enhanced oxygen stores, which increased the aerobic dive duration, and blubber for thermal insulation may have been early adaptations in each of the marine mammal lineages. The exception are fur seals and the sea otter, which rely o

To prevent a high partial pressures of nitrogen in blood and tissues resulting in decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis, reinforcement of the terminal airways in the lungs of pinnipeds and Cetacea allows the alveoli to

Carnivorous marine mammals rely primarily on fat for ATP synthesis under resting, normoxic conditions, and during dives within their AD
