The echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) maintained a body temperature of 30.7"C f 1.03 s.d. ( N = 23) at ambient temperatures (TA) between 0 and 25ยฐC. It may, however, also become hypothermic at low TA. At T\*=3O0C or above the echidna became hyperthermic. The thermoneutral range was about 20-30ยฐC. At
In this descriptive study, we characterize the diaphragm and lungs of the short-nosed echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus, using a combination of gross anatomical, light-microscopic, electron microscopic, and morphometric techniques, including airway casting. The diaphragm is inclined from ventro-crania
