Values represent means + standard errors. Abbreviations: AL = ad libitum, R = restricted. See Figure 5-1 for a description of diet treatments. Sample sizes are the same as in Figure 5-2. Values with different superscripts are significantly different among treatment groups within life-history stages. See text for statistical analyses.
