Fig. 3. Cumulative protein and carbohydrate consumed by (A) HV, (B) SV and (C) HS
over the successive days and across the full final stadium in the no-choice
test. In each plot, dotted lines from left to right indicate the nutrient
ratios for 7:35, 14:28, 21:21, 28:14 and 35:7 P:C diets where caterpillars
were restricted, respectively. The mean protein-carbohydrate intakes up to
days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and beyond (days 6-8) are represented as following symbols:
circle, square, triangle, inverted triangle, diamond and hexagon,
respectively. Within each time interval, the intake points are connected with
solid line (the intake array) to demonstrate the pattern of nutrient balancing
strategy. Broken lines stand for the self-selected composition of protein and
carbohydrate by three genotypes (data adapted from
Fig. 1).
