Description

Eggs and larvae were monitored from oviposition through pre-pupal development on native and non-native host plants to quantify survival differences and fitness consequences of host choice.

Typical Equipment

  • Individual cages
  • 1-m² grid

Output Measurements

  • larval survival rates
  • developmental stage timing
  • fitness costs
