Breathing during Locomotion
Fritz Olaf Lehmann (University of Ulm, Germany)
Jonathan Codd (University of Manchester, UK)

The meeting promises to be an exciting gathering of respiratory biologists working across a wide range of organisms and levels of organization. Our symposium will include researchers examining interactions between respiratory function and activity in a wide variety of organisms, during swimming, running, and flight.
