Discussion
- 5 (normal) till 8 (at caloric restriction) instars from birth till pupation
- Part of energy in imago structure is assumed to conert to eggs
- mod_1: references corrected/added, data added and changed, data re-digitized, no conversion from structure to eggs
- mod_2: parameter estimation redone
Facts
- Imagos only feed on nectar (Ref: Wiki)
