Which outcome occurs when flightless birds experience rapid ambient temperature reduction?

💡 Explanation

Increased catabolism results because shivering, a form of thermogenesis, attempts to maintain core temperature. Therefore, rapid shivering consumes substantial ATP, leading to muscle ATP reserves depleting, rather than adaptations like molting or behavioral changes like torpor.
