Tongue loading and intraoral transport of nectar in hummingbirds
Meeting Abstract 129.2 Monday, Jan. 7 Tongue loading and intraoral transport of nectar in hummingbirds RICO-GUEVARA, A.*; RUBEGA, M.A.; Univ. of Connecticut; Univ. of Connecticut a.rico@uconn.edu Hummingbirds have remarkably high metabolic rates, amazing speed and aerodynamic control, and they are classic examples of coevolution with flowering plants. All of these facts are related to a single reality: […]
