Editorial: Untangling the oxygen transport cascade: a tribute to Peter Frappell (Frapps)

AbstractThis collection of research articles was put together in honour of respiratory physiologist Professor Peter Frappell ’s (Frapps’s) academic achievements. It encompasses various topics relating to the oxygen transport cascade, which was central to Frapps’ career as a comparative physiologist. This issue highlights the diversity and outreach of his influence on the field and his pioneering spirit; promoting no vel perspectives, methodologies and research techniques. This issue also demonstrates how Frapps’ knowledge and scientific findings answered some of the fundamental questions within the field of respiratory physiology while creating and fostering a rather unique work atmosphere in the laboratories he led. We thank Frapps for the contributions he has made and the friendships he has nurtured over his career. Cheers, Frapps – we love you mate!
