Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation In field conditions, more Ascia monuste egg clutches occurred on apical and medium leaf parts than basal parts.
- Observation In greenhouse conditions, Ascia monuste strongly preferred apical kale leaves for oviposition.
- Observation The apical leaf part gave the best food utilization indices, pupal mass and female wing size for Ascia monuste.
- Observation Apical kale leaves had the smallest water content.
- Mechanism Authors suggest predation in the field hindered the relation between oviposition preference and offspring performance.
