Fig. 2. (A) Rates of total water loss (N=10), (B) rates of cuticular water loss (N=10) and (C) rates of metabolism (N=7) of Eurosta solidaginis larvae analyzed immediately after collection from the field or after 3, 6 or 10 daysexposure to various relative humidities. Rates of cuticular water loss were measured on larvae after their spiracles were topically blocked with stopcock grease. Values are means ± S.E.M. An asterisk indicates a significant difference from the 1 Oct. data point using a one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni multiple comparisons test. On a given day, laboratory group data with a `+' are significantly different from the 100% treatment, using a one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni multiple comparisons test.
