Feeding rate in adult Manduca sexta is unaffected by proboscis submersion depth
Fig 5
Nectar ingestion rate is independent of proboscis submergence.
Scatterplot with superimposed linear model of per-recording median nectar ingestion rate against per-recording median proboscis submergence, with shaded 95% confidence interval. Each point shows the median submergence depth and median drinking rate for one recording. Points are colored by the moth’s ID and styled by whether the moth is perching (circle) or flying (x) in that recording.
