Protein content of cotton bollworm larvae (both parasitized and unparasitized) fed with wheat grain grown under ambient and elevated CO₂ with M. mediator (sampled at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h post parasitization).

A: ambient CO₂ without parasitism; E: elevated CO₂ without parasitism; A + P: ambient CO₂ with parasitism; E + P: elevated CO₂ with parasitism. Each value represents the mean (±SE) of 5 replicates; Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences among the combinations of parasitism treatment and CO₂ concentrations within the same sample time. Different uppercase letters indicate significant differences among the different sample time within the same parasitism and CO₂ treatment as determined by LSD test at P < 0.05).
