TLDR
It was concluded that amino acids were the primary feeding stimulants of the diets tested, whereas sucrose, salts, or lipids had no feeding stimulant properties.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Choice of food by larvae of the fly, Agria affinis, related to dietary proportions of nutrients
TL;DR: Analysis showed that the amino acid level and the glucose level determined the effects on growth and development and on the choice of food.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen and amino acids in nectar modify food selection of nectarivorous bats.
Nelly Rodríguez-Peña,Nelly Rodríguez-Peña,Kathryn E. Stoner,Kathryn E. Stoner,Jorge Ayala-Berdon,Cesar M. Flores-Ortiz,Angel Duran,Jorge E. Schondube +7 more
TL;DR: Regardless of the low concentrations at which N and amino acids are present in floral nectar, their presence affects bats' food selection by interfering with the bats' ability to detect differences in sugar concentrations, and by offering particular flavours that can be perceived and selected by nectarivorous bats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gustatory discrimination of sugars, amino acids, and selected allelochemicals by the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris
TL;DR: The results indicate a strong chemosensory component regulating the feeding response of the tarnished plant bug and it is suggested that this response is mediated by epipharyngeal chemosensitive sensilla.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potassium chloride deters Lygus hesperus feeding behavior
TL;DR: The results from these studies strongly suggest that KCl negatively affects L. hesperus feeding behavior by functioning as a strong gustatory deterrent when concentrations exceed 0.5%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rôle of volume and amino acid concentration in the feeding of Oncopeltus fasciatus on a liquid and a solid diet
Elizabeth McClain,Dorothy Feir +1 more
TL;DR: It is clear that amino acids in the haemocoel do effect subsequent feeding on aSolid diet and that the regulation of feeding may be somewhat different on a solid and a liquid diet.

Journal ArticleDOI
The intrinsic rate of natural increase of an insect population
TL;DR: A sounder approach to insect populations based on demographic procedures is now suggested in this paper, and the parameter which Lotka has developed for human populations, and which he has variously called the 'true' or 'intrinsic' rate of natural increase, has obvious application to populations of animals besides the human species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimal nutritional requirements of the german roach, blattella germanica l.*
TL;DR: The xenict work reported in this paper was intended to be a preliminary to subsequent axenic researches, and it was hoped that all of the xenic nutritional requirements of the German roach could be established easily.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoperiod in relation to diapause in Lygus hesperus Knight
G. W. Beards,F. E. Strong +1 more
TL;DR: Experiments described here have demonstrated the critical effects of photoperiod and temperature upon the inception, termination, nullification, and intensity of diapause in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of nutritional factors in food selection and preference as related to larval nutrition of an insect, pseudosarcophaga affinis (diptera, sarcophagidae), on synthetic diets
TL;DR: Larvae of Pseudosarcophaga affinis affinis Fallen readily discriminated between synthetic diets satisfactory for growth and those that had nutritionally important faults, and all the experiments showed that the diets chosen by larvae were those on which they grew and developed best.

The effects of a new salt mixture developed for Agria affinis (Fallén) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) on the growth rate, body weight, and protein content of the larvae
H.L. House,J.S. Barlow +1 more
TL;DR: A salt mixture designed for the nutrition of the parasitoid Agria affinis (Fallen) (Diptera: Sarcophgidae) greatly accelerated growth rate on a chemically defined diet and enabled the larvae to attain greater body weight and higher protein content than did a salt mixture that was designed for certain vertebrates.
