Description
Controlled laboratory rearing of lycaenid larvae to assess developmental performance parameters including mass gain, prepupal duration, and survival under different ant attendance treatments.
Typical Equipment
- 125 ml plastic cups
- mesh netting
- precision scales
- fluorescent lighting
Output Measurements
- initial mass
- prepupal mass
- pupal mass
- relative weight loss
- prepupal duration
