Fig 5. Feeding and starvation effects on the critical thermal maxima (CTmax) of adult Zygogramma bicolorata beetles.

Assayed beetles were comprised of 3 age treatments (3–4, 12–14 and 34–36 days old). Beetles that were denied access to host plant 3 days prior to assays were regarded as the starved treatment whilst those that had access were considered fed. Data points represent means for N = 30 individuals per treatment where vertical bars denote ±95% CL. Letters above data points indicate significant differences in CTmax.
