- Observation Calliteara cerigoides larvae preferred Shorea selanica leaves.
- Observation Calliteara cerigoides larvae feeding on Shorea selanica survived until the seventh instar.
- Mechanism Tannin and hydroquinone phenolics in S. pinanga leaves were proposed to impede larval feeding preference.
- Observation Larvae on S. pinanga leaves were reported to die in the third instar.
- Association Leaf morphology and chemical content affected larval eating preferences.
