Energy balance of food in a detrito-bryophagous groundhopper (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Detritus (decaying organic matter) and phyllodes of mosses are two main components in the diet of groundhoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae). We studied the energy balance of consumed food under laboratory conditions in the detrito-bryophagous groundhopper ...
