Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase 1 Gene (<i>Pck1</i>) Displays Parallel Evolution between Old World and New World Fruit Bats by Lei Zhu (16642)

“…<div><p>Bats are an ideal mammalian group for exploring adaptations to fasting due to their large variety of diets and because fasting is a regular part of their life cycle. Mammals fed on a carbohydrate-rich diet experience a rapid decrease in blood glucose levels during a fast, thus, the development of mechanisms to resist the consequences of regular fasts, experienced on a daily basis, must have been crucial in the evolution of frugivorous bats. …”
