Duration of (a) and specific growth rate during (b) each life-history stage for insects in each of five treatment groups. Each point represents mean + standard error. Stages were categorized as each of six instars, adult prior to first oviposition (pre-ov adult), and adult after first oviposition (post-ov adult). AL-R at Ov insects lost proportionally more body mass than AL insects after first oviposition, but all other pairwise comparisons of post-oviposition adult growth rates were not significant (Mann- Whitney U tests, p > 0.005). 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. Means with different letters are significantly different among treatment groups within life-history stages. See text for data analysis.
