Energetic costs and implications of the intake of plant secondary metabolites on digestive and renal morphology in two austral passerines

Seed-eating birds have a diet of high nutritional value; however, they must cope with plant secondary metabolites (PSM). We postulated that the detoxification capacity of birds is associated with a metabolic cost, given that the organs responsible for detoxification significantly contribute to energ...
