Ant-Related Oviposition and Larval Performance in a Myrmecophilous Lycaenid
Figure 3
(a) Frequency of ant tending had sex-dependent effect on pupal mass, with female larvae pupating at a higher mass as tending increased whereas male larvae were unaffected by tending frequency. (b) Pupal mass and sex strongly predicted adult forewing chord length for Miami blue butterflies.
