Title: Energy Budget of Larvae of Hyalophora cecropia (Lepidoptera) fed Acer negundo
Abstract:Energy and material budgets of the form: ingestion (I) = growth (G) + maintenance (M) + elimination (F), were evaluated for the larval development of Hyalophora cecropia at 270C fed leaves of box elde...Energy and material budgets of the form: ingestion (I) = growth (G) + maintenance (M) + elimination (F), were evaluated for the larval development of Hyalophora cecropia at 270C fed leaves of box elder Acer negundo. Gross efficiencies of growth (IOOG/I), 16.4% (dry weight) and 19.40% (caloric equivalents) were low compared to other leaf eating lepidopterans. Net efficiencies of growth (1OG/I-F), 56.2% (dry weight) and 53.1 % (caloric equivalent) were similar to other lepidopterans.Read More
