Fig. 2. The relationship between body mass of mammal and bird species and acyl composition of their skeletal muscle phospholipids. (A) The unsaturation index for birds and mammals. (B,C) Percentage of total unsaturates (UFA) and percentage composition of two individual acyl chains, the monounsaturated oleic acid (18:1 n-9) and the polyunsaturated docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3), for mammals (B) and birds (C). The mammal data are from Hulbert et al. (2002c) and the bird data are from Hulbert et al. (2002a).
