A renewed interest is in paleophysiology. Years ago I worked with C. Richard Tracy and J. Scott Turner on a biophysical analysis of heat transfer in sailed pelycosaurs. Very recently Peter Ward and I have looked that the physiological and biogeographic consequences of changes in oxygen levels over the Phanerozoic. We also used a similar approach to evaluate how hypothetical "paleomountaineers" would have done on Mt. Everest. A renewed interest is in paleophysiology. Years ago I worked with C.
