All animals face the possibility of limitations in food resources that could ultimately lead to
starvation-induced mortality. The primary goal of this review is to characterize the various
physiological strategies that allow different animals to survive starvation. The ancillary goals
of this work are to identify areas in which investigations of starvation can be improved and to
discuss recent advances and emerging directions in starvation research. The ubiquity of
food limitation among animals, inconsistent terminology associated with starvation and …
