The cause of reduced growth of Manduca sexta larvae on a low-water diet: Increased metabolic processing costs or nutrient limitation?
(Elsevier, 1988)
Relative growth rates and nitrogen accumulation rates are lower for third-instar Manduca sexta larvae on an artificial diet containing 65% water than on one containing 82% water, due to reduced efficiencies of conversion ...
