Figure 4

Case-3: Responses of food limitation. (A) Effect of temperature on the time needed by larvae to moult for developmental time, D(T). (B) Proportion of survivors in response to temperature and the starvation period measured in clock time. Data were fitted with a Boltzmann sigmoidal function with parameters given in Supplementary Table 2. (C) Proportion of survivors vs time scale of starvation period in biological time. The equation obtained for the response in clock time (t), was R (t,T) = −0.70/(1 + f), with f = 19.3[t· e−9.457 ·T2.569)0.53, L = 1/D(T).
