Single molecule, full-length transcript sequencing provides insight into the extreme metabolism of ruby-throated hummingbird <i>Archilochus colubris</i>

2017-03-15

Abstract excerpt

Hummingbirds can support their high metabolic rates exclusively by oxidizing ingested sugars, which is unsurprising given their sugar-rich nectar diet and use of energetically expensive hovering flight. However, they cannot rely on dietary sugars as a fuel during fasting periods, such as during the night, at first light, or when undertaking long-distance migratory flights, and must instead rely exclusively on onbo...
