Zusammenfassung

Beim nordamerikanischen Abendkernbeißer (Hesperiphona vespertina, Körpergewicht um 60 g) wurde die Atmung bei einer Reihe von Schreckrufen aufgezeichnet. Die Rufe wurden beim Ausatmen ausgestoßen, der Luftstrom war in Pulsationen von 55–60/sec zerlegt. Bei den dazwischen liegenden Einatmungen waren Atemstrom und Atemvolumen im Vergleich zur Ruhe erhöht. Die Einatmungsdauer betrug nur 0,1–0,15 sec, was der Atmung im Flug sehr ähnlich ist.

Summary

In the North American Evening Grosbeak (Hesperiphona vespertina, body weight about 60 g) the respiration was recorded during distress calls. The calls were produced in the expired airstream in pulsations of 55–60/sec. The inspirations lying between the calls had increased tidal volume and airflow velocity relative to rest. The duration of inspiration was only 0,1–0,15 sec, which is very similar to that in flight.
