The project investigates how birds adapt their energy metabolism to survive in arid environments by studying the role of mitochondrial function and related genes. It combines ecological analysis with genomic data to enhance understanding of bioenergetics and evolutionary processes in challenging habitats.
Arid environments are habitats of energetic stringency because of extreme air temperatures and periods of decreased food and water abundance.
Typically, birds confronted with these conditions reduce their energetic metabolism to be in balance with local resources.
The ability to adjust energetic metabolism to face the harshness of arid habitats has been a significant question in ornithology and ecological physiology for decades.
Recent evidence indicates the important role of the mitochondrial o…
