Ontogenetic changes in the rate of ingestion and estimates of food consumption in fourth and fifth instar Helicoverpa armigera caterpillars

We present the second in a series of experiments investigating the behavioural mechanisms used by Helicoverpa armigera caterpillars to fund the increased nutrient requirements associated with growth and development. In the work reported here, we measured ontogenetic changes in the rate of ingestion...
