In ï¬ve species, we. measured the rate at which each substrate was metabolized under starvation or desiccation stress. Rates of lipid and protein metab-. olism were similar during starvation and desiccation, but carbohydrate metabolism was several-fold higher during desiccation. Thus, total energy consumption was lower in starved ï¬ies than desiccated ones.
