The growth trajectory over absolute time of an individual organism as a function of body mass. Initial growth follows the black trajectory to an energetically replete reproductive adult mass of m = ε λ M (Methods). Starvation follows the red trajectory to m = ε σ ε λ M. Recovery follows the green curve to the replete adult mass, where this trajectory differs from the original growth because only fat is being regrown that requires a longer time to reach ε λ M. Alternatively, death from starvation follows the blue trajectory to m = ε μ ε λ M
