... of complete O 2 lack. Many overwintering amphibians do, however, tolerate prolonged bouts of severe hypoxia, relying exclusively on cutaneous gas exchange. Rana temporaria overwintering for 2 months in hypoxic water ( approximately 25 mmHg) at 3 °C progressively reduce their blood to levels characteristic...
