Feeding rates in sham-operated and ovariectomized (=OVX) lubber grasshoppers. Initial samples sizes were n = 23 for OVX females and n = 25 for sham females. During the period from adult molt until first oviposition in sham-operated females, feeding rates were similar between the two groups. In contrast, during the period from first oviposition to second oviposition in sham-operated females (i.e., clutch 2), ovariectomy decreased feeding on artificial diet by ~40%.
