Flexibility in metabolic rate and activity level determines individual variation in overwinter performance

Energy stores are essential for the overwinter survival of many temperate and polar animals, but individuals within a species often differ in how quickly they deplete their reserves. These disparities in overwinter performance may be explained by differences in their physiological and behavioral fle...
