In reply to Roce. You can rationalise that there is no point in breathing-in if the room is full of nitrogen, but for the body to autonomously conclude the same it would need external oxygen detectors. Evolution would struggle to equip us with such detectors because any creature that evolved them and then found themselves in a situation where they became active, such as our fictional nitrogen-filled room, would die from lack of oxygen before being able to pass them on to their offspring.

I always understood in-fertilized eggs=MC. 😉 but your article took me into journey of entire zoo. tnx!
your summary point, anticlimactic answer is thought provoking.. But i still think, why unlike every species those birds didnt rose above or altered their behavior ? after all, every species adapts to its environment, when encountering male less environment too often, still why did they not stop?!? or their evolution is too slow maybe..?

Actually, there are sensory receptors in our bodys that can be stimulated by decreasing level of oxigen.
And the reason why the pace of our breathing stays constant in a room full of nitrogen is because elevating it wouldn’t make a difference. If there is no oxigen to breathe in, there is no point in breathing.

[…] do you think that undomesticated birds would end up with all unfertilized eggs? The unfertilized eggs can be thought of in a similar way to the products of menstruation. So […]
