Animals need to balance competitive behaviours to maintain internal homeostasis and to reproduce. Using Drosophila, we systematically manipulated signalling between energy-mobilising endocrine cells producing adipokinetic hormone (AKH), octopaminergic neurons and the energy-storing fat body to assess whether this neuroendocrine axis involved in starvation-induced hyperactivity also balances activity levels under ad libitum access to food.
