Bioenergetics of Simuliidae (Diptera) larvae in the Buffalo River (Eastern Cape Province)
Ingestion, assimilation and egestion rates of different sized filter-feeding blackfly larvae Simulium medusaeforme/hargreavesi (Diptera: Simuliidae) were determined. The effects of food type, food concentration and larval size on ingestion rates were tested. These bioenergetic parameters were used t...
