... flux rates during hovering and enzymatic flux capacities( V max values, equal to [E]× k cat ,where k cat is catalytic efficiency) in flight muscles measured in vitro from 14 orchid bee species ranging in body mass from 47 to 1065 mg. Previous studies revealed that, across orchid bee species,wingbeat...

Allometric scaling of flight energetics in Panamanian orchid bees: a comparative phylogenetic approach

Charles-A. Darveau, Peter W. Hochachka, Kenneth C. Welch, Jr, David W. Roubik, Raul K. Suarez
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2005) 208 (18): 3581–3591.

...Charles-A. Darveau; Peter W. Hochachka; Kenneth C. Welch, Jr; David W. Roubik; Raul K. Suarez SUMMARY The relationship between body size and flight energetics was studied in the clade of tropical orchid bees, in order to investigate energy metabolism and evolution. Body mass, which varied from 47...

Allometric scaling of flight energetics in orchid bees: evolution of flux capacities and flux rates

Charles-A. Darveau, Peter W. Hochachka, David W. Roubik, Raul K. Suarez
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2005) 208 (18): 3593–3602.

Published: 15 September 2005
...Charles-A. Darveau; Peter W. Hochachka; David W. Roubik; Raul K. Suarez SUMMARY The evolution of metabolic pathways involved in energy production was studied in the flight muscles of 28 species of orchid bees. Previous work revealed that wingbeat frequencies and mass-specific metabolic rates...
