New preprint! How have birds evolved to feed on mostly simple sugars? We found convergence in key genes and pathways across different sugar-feeding bird groups. Huge thanks to our amazing team: @maggieMCKO, Maude Baldwin, @hillermich, and @timsackton #Evolution #metabolism
Convergent and lineage-specific genomic changes contribute to adaptations in sugar-consuming birds biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio
