Fig. 3.

The effects of the dietary composition on survival and timing of metamorphosis in control and CAX fifth instar larvae of Manduca. Growth curves are for control (A) and for CAX (B) larvae that were starved for 2.5 d from the beginning of the last instar and then given diets of the indicated composition until they either wandered (W) or died (cross). Each symbol is the mean (± SEM) of the group on the given day. In cases in which no variance is shown, it is less than the height of the symbol. Numbers are the number of larvae in each group.
