Figure 1. Comparing variation in total body phosphorus content within and across taxa. (A) The intraspecific variation in Texas field crickets (Gryllus texensis; dark bars) is compared to the interspecific variation (across insect taxa - light bars) in total body phosphorus content; (B) The intraspecific variation in Cuculinoid weevils (Sabinia setosa; dark bars) is compared to the interspecific variation (across insect taxa - light bars) in total body phosphorus content. Interspecific variation data are from Woods et al. (2004).
