Table 1. Seasonal changes in fresh mass, dry mass and total lipids in field-collected caterpillars of Cydia pomonella.
Sampling date | Fresh mass (FM) | Dry mass | Total lipids |
[mg] | [% FM] | [% FM] | |
July 2010 | 32.18±5.31 d | 33.38±2.07 bc | 13.33±1.71 |
September 2010 | 62.06±10.45 a | 40.68±1.39 a | 13.65±1.92 |
November 2010 | 48.97±7.49 bc | 36.83±2.88 ab | 11.97±0.93 |
January 2011 | 60.64±8.01 ab | 38.48±4.23 ac | 12.89±1.30 |
March 2011 | 40.77±8.43 cd | 37.43±3.89 ab | 12.17±3.19 |
April 2011 | 44.84±8.28 c | 33.13±4.81 b | 14.02±2.54 |
ANOVA F | 16.22 | 5.883 | 0.7789 |
ANOVA P | <0.0001 (***) | 0.0003 (***) | 0.5746 (ns) |
Data in columns (means ± S.D.) were analyzed using ANOVA (ns, no significant influence of sampling date on the parameter;
, highly significant influence). Means flanked with different letters are significantly different at p = 0.05 (Bonferroni's post-hoc multiple comparison test).
