SMRU Ecophysiology Lab
@smruecophys.bsky.social
Research group at the Sea Mammal Research Unit, University of St Andrews, studying the ecology and physiology of diving animals. Lead by Dr. Chris McKnight and Dr. Jo Kershaw.
New @seamammalresearch.bsky.social & @smruinstrument.bsky.social research out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social, using #NIRS integrated into SMRU phone tags to measure the diving behaviour and physiology of the most incredible human divers - the all-female Haenyeo

We're pleased to share our work at @seamammalresearch.bsky.social, published in @science.org last week, showing that seals perceive circulating oxygen levels to adjust their diving behaviour. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Some more of our lab’s recently published work - @eva-mariab.bsky.social used #NIRS and underwater arterial blood sampling to investigate depth-dependent effects on cardiovascular and blood oxygen regulation during freediving
