“…High natural mortality levels have been reported for other cassidine larvae in the field (Simmonds 1949;Williams 1950;Carroll 1978;Windsor 1987;Olmstead and Denno 1993;Becker and Pires Freiré 1996). Small larvae of Charidotella bicolor (F.) carrying an exuvial shield and Deloyala guttata (Oliver) with a fecal "pad" were killed more often by predators than were bigger larvae even without fecal shields (Olmstead and Denno 1993).…”

“…Hatching failure has been reported as a cause of egg mortality in Acromis sparsa (Boheman) (Windsor 1987). In this species, undeveloped eggs (60%) of were more common in habitats where egg parasitism was high.…”

“…We additionally evaluate two methods of tree reconstruction from different data sets: the combination of the different datasets into a single matrix (Total Evidence) as opposed to the supertree reconstruction by Matrix Representation Parsimony (MRP). Interspecific variation in egg deposition among Cassidinae is considerable with some species laying their eggs in masses or solitarily, some species covering their eggs with faeces or enclosing them in an ootheca made of secretions, or even sometimes actively guarding egg masses (Windsor, 1987;Selman, 1994;Windsor et al, 1992). We test whether host ovipositional behaviour determines accessibility to egg parasitoids.…”
