Plastic but repeatable: rapid adjustments of mitochondrial function and density during reproduction in a wild bird species.

Abstract excerpt

Most of the energy fluxes supporting animal performance flow through mitochondria. Hence, inter-individual differences in performance might be rooted in inter-individual variations in mitochondrial function and density. Furthermore, because the energy required by an individual often changes across life stages, mitochondrial function and density are also expected to show within-individual variation (i.e....
