Biol Lett
. 2024 Nov;
20(11):20240453.
PMID: 39500370
In most mammals, running is fuelled by oxidization of endogenous carbohydrates and lipids while amino acids contribute little (< 5-10%). Common vampire bats (), however, specialize on a unique, protein-rich...

. 2024 May;
12(1):coae031.
PMID: 38812726
Bumblebee populations across the globe are experiencing substantial declines due to climate change, with major consequences for pollination services in both natural and agricultural settings. Using an economically important species,...

Integr Comp Biol
. 2023 May;
63(5):1075-1086.
PMID: 37248054
In mammals, leptin is an important energy homeostasis hormone produced by adipose tissue. Circulating leptin concentrations correlate positively with fat mass and act in a negative feedback fashion to inhibit...

Gershman A, Hauck Q, Dick M, Jamison J, Tassia M, Agirrezabala X, et al.
Genome Res
. 2023 May;
33(5):703-714.
PMID: 37156619
Hummingbirds are very well adapted to sustain efficient and rapid metabolic shifts. They oxidize ingested nectar to directly fuel flight when foraging but have to switch to oxidizing stored lipids...

PMID: 34866575
Many small endotherms use torpor to reduce metabolic rate and manage daily energy balance. However, the physiological 'rules' that govern torpor use are unclear. We tracked torpor use and body...

Conserv Physiol
. 2021 Jul;
9(1):coab053.
PMID: 34267922
Quantifying hair cortisol has become popular in wildlife ecology for its practical advantages for evaluating stress. Before hair cortisol levels can be reliably interpreted, however, it is key to first...

Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol
. 2021 Mar;
320(5):R735-R746.
PMID: 33729020
When at their maximum thermogenic capacity (cold-induced V̇o), small endotherms reach levels of aerobic metabolism as high, or even higher, than running V̇o. How these high rates of thermogenesis are...

PMID: 33536520
Neonicotinoids are neurotoxic systemic insecticides applied extensively worldwide. The impacts of common neonicotinoids like imidacloprid on non-target invertebrate pollinators have been widely studied, however effects on vertebrate pollinators have received...

. 2020 Dec;
40(1):202-207.
PMID: 33283353
Bats play a vital role in our ecosystems and economies as natural pest-control agents, seed dispersers, and pollinators. Agricultural intensification, however, can impact bats foraging near crops, affecting the ecosystem...
