Effect of food limitation without predation risk on consumption (in mm2), growth (in mg), and assimilation efficiency (mg growth with area consumed as the covariate) of third instar M. sexta caterpillars. Food was offered continuously during the experiment (ad libitum; n = 7), was withheld toward the end (end removal; n = 8), or was withheld three times during the experiment (intermittent removal; n = 8). Bars represent means ± SE. Asterisks indicate significant differences between ad libitum and the two food limitation treatments.
