Other claims from this paper (16)
- Observation Oviposition and larval development succeeded on Ipomoea tenuirostris.
- Observation Oviposition and larval development succeeded on Ipomoea cairica.
- Observation No oviposition occurred on the other three wild Ipomoea species.
- Observation Larvae did not feed on Ipomoea indica.
- Observation Larval survival was extremely low on Ipomoea purpurea.
- Association Sweet potato was preferred for oviposition over I. tenuirostris and I. cairica.
- Association Larval survival was better on sweet potato than on the two wild species.
- Association Pupal size was better on sweet potato than on the two wild species.
- Mechanism Larger pupae from sweet potato produced more fecund female butterflies.
- Observation Wild butterfly populations were abundant on I. tenuirostris.
- Observation Wild butterfly populations were absent on I. cairica.
- Association Females tended to prefer I. tenuirostris for oviposition over I. cairica.
- Association Larval performance did not differ significantly between I. tenuirostris and I. cairica.
- Observation Wild A. acerata populations also occurred on Ipomoea obscura.
- Association Wild Ipomoea butterfly populations were judged too sparse to affect sweet potato populations.
- Mechanism Wild populations may serve as reservoirs after butterfly population bottlenecks on sweet potato.
