OverviewAI-generated summary

Thomas McKean's research has focused on comparative physiology, particularly the cardiovascular and respiratory adjustments of various animal species to physiological challenges. His work includes studies on cardiovascular responses to laboratory diving in beavers and nutria, and investigations into the effects of hypoxia on heart muscle in species such as muskrats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. McKean has also examined the transfer function of pulmonary mechanoreceptors in frogs and analyzed the stretch reflex in cats. His research extends to the impact of exercise on uterine blood flow in pregnant pygmy goats and comparative studies of respiratory functions in mammalian blood, including the pronghorn antelope. McKean holds a h-index of 12 with 97 publications and 449 citations. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Ranil Wickramasinghe and Chidambaram Thamaraiselvan.
