文摘

Consumption rates of A. pisonii were higher for A. germinans green leaves and for L. racemosa in senescent leaves, and R. mangle in both conditions. Females of A. pisonii preferred L. racemosa as food, while the male preferred R. mangle. Daily feeding rates of A. pissoni was 0.01 gpsh/gphc for L. racemosa and R. mangle. Preference consumption is confirmed for L. racemosa and R. mangle senescent leaves.
