According to the homeostatic perspective, the probability of an animal exploiting a secondary metabolite is determined by the relative difference between the cost of a challenge and the toxicity of the secondary metabolite, with the ultimate goal being to regulate homeostasis by balancing the minimization of challenge costs and toxicity, as noted by Forbey et al. (2009).
