Exposure to food insecurity increases energy storage and reduces somatic maintenance in European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)

Birds exposed to food insecurity—defined as temporally variable access to food—respond adaptively by storing more energy. To do this, they may reduce energy allocation to other functions such as somatic maintenance and repair. To investigate this trade-off, we exposed juvenile European starlings (St...
