Metabolic stoichiometry and the fate of excess carbon and nutrients in consumers
Animals encountering nutritionally imbalanced foods should release elements in excess of requirements in order to maintain overall homeostasis. Quantifying these excesses and predicting their fate is, however, problematic. A new model of the stoichiometry of consumers is formulated that incorporates...
