Description
| - In insect larvae, optimising food utilisation with respect to available meals and time is essential for achieving maximum adult body size, which is a relevant proxy of fitness. We studied the efficiency of food conversion, body size, mortality, and development time in a solitary idiobiont ectoparasitoid, Brachinus explodens (Coleoptera: Carabidae), reared in the laboratory on the pupae of another carabid genus, Amara. The efficiency of conversion index (ECI – ratio of ingested to assimilated food) was, on average, 54.1 ± 1.1% (n = 76), with a minimum of 26.9% and a maximum of 81.6%. The rate of increase in biomass gained (Wgained) with biomass of the host was constant in females, but it decreased in males over the range of host body mass. Females, therefore, grew heavier from hosts of the same mass compared to males. Body length increased with the host mass and was correlated with Wgained identically for both sexes. Mortality was unaffected by the host mass, but it significantly increased be
