Effective Larval Foraging in Large, Low-Diet Environments by Anopheles gambiae

Table 1

Daily rate of diet in three experiment types with “Day 1” being when L3s were transferred to dishes.

Day	Fixed water volume (μg/larva in 30 mL)					Fixed diet concentration (μg/larva)					Fixed diet amount (μg/mL)
