• Inter-sexual differences in the immune response of Eurasian kestrel nestlings under food shortage (2002, background): “But recent research suggest that, although compensatory growth can bring quick bene®ts, it is also associated with a variety of costs that are often not evident until much later in adult life (Metcalfe & Monaghan 2001).”
• The Developmental Origins of Adult Disease (2004, background): “Compensatory growth has costs, however, which in animals include reduced life-span [41].”
• FITNESS EFFECTS FROM EGG TO REPRODUCTION: BRIDGING THE LIFE HISTORY TRANSITION (2005, background): “However, this comes at a variety of costs that often are not evident until much later in adult life (reviewed in Metcalfe and Monaghan 2001).”
• Seasonal variation in catch-up growth reveals state-dependent somatic allocations in salmon (2002, background): “Compensatory growth is also associated with a variety of longer-term costs (Metcalfe and Monaghan, 2001), and salmonids with elevated growth rates have been shown to be more prone to muscle damage (Christiansen et al., 1992), coronary arterial lesions (Saunders et al., 1992) and subsequent…”
• Short‐term larval food stress and associated compensatory growth reduce adult immune function in a damselfly (2008, background): “One widespread larval stressor that may bridge metamorphosis even long after the stressor has disappeared is short-term food stress ( Metcalfe & Monaghan, 2001 ).”
• Age-specific variation in survival, reproductive success and offspring quality in red squirrels: evidence of senescence (2008, background): “…born during high food years should have higher senescence rates than cohorts born during low food years because high-food cohorts should reproduce earlier and more intensely than low-food cohorts, and thereby suffer higher reproductive costs (Kirkwood and Rose 1991, Metcalfe and Monaghan 2001).”
• Bioconversion of Rice straw waste by black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) : Optimal feed rate for biomass production (2016, background): “This strategy come with the cost of self-maintenance [16, 21] like reduced immune function [8], shorter life span [33], poor performance [34], and possible low offspring quality which could hinder sustainability for larva production.”
• Predator-induced plasticity in nest visitation rates in the Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) (2005, background): “Because birds have determinate growth, their capacity to catch up for a temporary lack of food is limited ( Metcalfe and Monaghan, 2001 ), and Siberian jay parents in high-risk habitat may have paid another hidden cost for the antipredator behavior.”
• Intensified agricultural use of grasslands reduces growth and survival of precocial shorebird chicks (2013, background): “Slow growth can have long-lasting negative effects well into adulthood (Metcalfe & Monaghan 2001).”
