The effect of diets on egg production. The effect of pumpkin seed (dark bars) or sunflower seed (light bars) is compared for mean number of eggs produced over female's life span (A). The effect of milkweed seed (open bars) or sunflower seed (light grey bars) is compared for mean number of eggs produced over female's life span (B). The pattern of egg production between females fed pumpkin seed (solid line) and sunflower seed (dashed line) is compared among females that lived for at least 6 weeks postadult eclosion (C).
