Aphagy under pressure: Cold unveils hidden energetic conflicts across sex and generations

Key Points

• Conflicts in energy allocation appear prominently under cold stress conditions, impacting different sexes distinctly.
• Key energy strategies were identified, with notable differences in metabolic responses to cold exposure between generations.
• This observational analysis uncovers physiological responses to cold stress across varying generational contexts.
• Results suggest potential adaptations to environmental challenges, indicating the need for further study of metabolic strategies.
