Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Calliteara cerigoides larvae preferred Shorea selanica leaves.
- Observation Calliteara cerigoides larvae feeding on Shorea selanica survived until the seventh instar.
- Observation Larvae on S. pinanga leaves were reported to die in the third instar.
- Mechanism Alkaloids and flavonoids in Shorea sp. leaves were suspected to limit larval survival to the fourth instar.
- Association Leaf morphology and chemical content affected larval eating preferences.
