Endocrine function of pheromones couples fat rationing and nutrient scarcity

Harsh environmental conditions,such as food scarcity,drought and coldness,are ubiquitous threats to most living things.During evolution,organisms have developed diverse strategies to survive such inhospitable periods(Olsen et al.,2021).Many avian species and some fish(e.g.,salmon)exemplify the migratory strategy,in which animals travel to temperate habitats.Non-migratory animals commonly enter dormant states when harsh conditions arrive.
