FIGURE 4.

Relative growth rate of D. balteata larvae feeding on roots of wild populations of C. argyrosperma (WB and WU = black, n = 10) or domesticated varieties (FVP and FSE selected for fruit consumption, OCT and ONC selected for an ornamental use, shades of gray, n = 10) with (a) and without (b) predators after 9 days. Survival of D. balteata larvae with (c) and without (d) predators. Larvae fed on roots of wild populations of C. argyrosperma (WB and WU = black, n = 10) or with domesticated varieties (FVP and FSE selected for fruit consumption, OCT and ONC selected for an ornamental use, shades of gray, n = 10) after 9 days. Bars are RGR (A and B) or the proportion of survived larvae (C and D) (+SE). Letters indicate the difference on herbivore survival among host plant treatments with predator presence. p‐values are given for differences among host plant treatments (wild populations and domesticated varieties) [generalized linear model]. *** indicates significant differences between wild populations and domesticated varieties selected for fruit consumption
