Dietary and Flight Energetic Adaptations in a Salivary Gland Transcriptome of an Insectivorous Bat

We hypothesized that evolution of salivary gland secretory proteome has been important in adaptation to insectivory, the most common dietary strategy among Chiroptera. A submandibular salivary gland (SMG) transcriptome was sequenced for the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus. The likely secretory pr...
