Figure 4. Effect of sequence of plant presentation on mean (+ SEM) total numbers of ovipunctures made (a) and total eggs laid (b) by Dectes texanus females on plants of each type. Each mated female was fed either sunflower or soybean as an adult in the laboratory and then caged for 48h on a plant of each type in a field trial. Asterisks indicate a significant differences in reproductive behavior toward a particular plant type in response to its sequence of encounter (one-way ANOVA; *, α < 0.05; **, α < 0.01).
