From: Drought and plant neighbourhood interactively determine herbivore consumption and performance
Schematic representation of nutritional indices and their ANCOVA equivalents. For each nutritional index (shown in bold font, AD: Approximate Digestibility, ECI: Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food, ECD: Efficiency of Conversion of Digested food, RGR: Relative Growth Rate), formula and ANCOVA equivalents are shown. The ANCOVA equivalent of AD takes Frass as a response variable and Consumption as a covariate such that AD is given by 1 ÷ (F/ΔB). ΔB: leaf biomass consumption, F: Frass production, G: Larval growth (wf − wi).
