Abstract excerpt
Foraging to acquire nutrients is an essential and sometimes risky behavior displayed by nearly all animals. Appropriately balancing foraging risks with nutrient requirements is pivotal for peak survival and reproduction, and metabolic state (ie how urgently the animal requires nutrients) is a strong modulator of risky foraging behavior. In this study, we asked what molecular signal allows Caenorhabditis elegans...
