Abstract
) involved in arachidonic acid metabolism have undergone convergent adaptation to tropical desert climate between birds and mammals. Our study offers insights into the genetic mechanisms of adaptations to tropical climates in birds and other animals and provides practical value for breeding design and medical research on avian viruses.
