High-Altitude Bird Flight: Exercise in a Hostile Environment
Abstract
A few species of birds, notably the bar-headed goose (Anser indicus), fly at great altitudes (9.000 m or 29.500 ft) and undergo severe hypoxia during their semiannual migration. Specializations in a number of organ systems of these birds appear to allow this activity.

Blood leaving the lung interface can have the same oxygen partial pressure as inspired air, indicating that oxygen delivery in birds is not limited by the pulmonary system.
“The net result of these adaptations is that blood leaving the lung interface can have the same oxygen partial pressure as inspired air, indicating that oxygen delivery in birds is not limited by the pulmonary system (Fedde, 1990).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
