Metabolic cost of inflammatory response of ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris)
Animals with a slow pace of life and high mass-specific metabolic rates are expected to invest less in innate immune responses. We measured skin inflammation and the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) after their immune system was challenged with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and compared with the response of birds injected a saline solution. The PHA test measures the inflammatory process, a component of the innate response. Ruby-throated hummingbirds belong to a group that is under-represented in avian immunological studies characterized by a slow pace of life and fast metabolic rate. Hummingbirds developed an inflammatory response that lasted <28 h. PHA injection produced a significant increment of RMR (up to ~13%) with respect to RMR values after the injection of the saline solution indicating that immune response involved a metabolic cost for hummingbirds. This increment lies within the range of values previously reported for birds injected PHA (5%–29%).
期刊介绍:
Avian Biology Research provides a forum for the publication of research in every field of ornithology. It covers all aspects of pure and applied ornithology for wild or captive species as well as research that does not readily fit within the publication objectives of other ornithological journals. By considering a wide range of research fields for publication, Avian Biology Research provides a forum for people working in every field of ornithology.
