Abstract
August Krogh, the Nobel laureate from 1920 to whom this lecture is dedicated, epitomized the very essence of comparative physiology in his famous statement (Krogh, 1929): “For a large number of problems there will be some animal of choice or a few such animals on which it can be most conveniently studied”.
