Fig. 5. Effect of dietary protein/carbohydrate ratio on the numbers and mass of Cotesia congregata developing in the host Manduca sexta. (A) Effect of dietary nutrient ratio on total parasite number. Values are means ± S.E.M. Values followed by different letters are statistically different at
=0.05 as determined by the Nemenyi multiple-range test. (B) Effect of dietary nutrient ratio on total (squares) and individual (triangles) parasite biomass. Values are means ± S.E.M. Values followed by different letters are statistically different at
=0.05 from those in the same data set, as determined by the RyanEinotGabrielWelsch multiple-range test. All diets were isocaloric and contained an equivalent total amount of casein and sucrose.
