The cost of chemical defence: the impact of toxin depletion on growth and behaviour of cane toads (Rhinella marina)

Many animals capable of deploying chemical defences are reluctant to use them, suggesting that synthesis of toxins imposes a substantial cost. Typically, such costs have been quantified by measuring the elevation in metabolic rate induced by toxin depletion (i.e. during replenishment of toxin stores...
