UV-Excited Fluorescence on Riparian Insects except Hymenoptera Is Associated with Nitrogen Content

Figure 6

Adult insects ranked and plotted by genera in relation to mean %N of body dry-mass (in parentheses, from [16, Table  1]) and area of UV-excited fluorescence relative to body surface-area. First abbreviations are orders: C: Coleoptera; D: Diptera; He: Hemiptera; Hy: Hymenoptera; N: Neuroptera; Od: Odonata; Or: Orthoptera. Second abbreviations are families: Ac: Acrididae; An: Andrenidae; Ch: Chrysopidae; Ci: Cixiidae; Co: Coccinellidae; F: Formicidae; H: Halictidae; La: Lauxaniidae; Li: Libellulidae; P: Pentatomidae; R: Reduviidae; Tb: Tabanidae; Tc: Tachinidae; Te: Tettigoniidae; Ti: Tiphiidae; Tp: Tephritidae; V: Vespidae.
