Effect of temperature on allometric power equations for jump performance of juvenile Locusta migratoria.

Regressions generated from mean data calculated from six individuals belonging to each of the five juvenile life stages, at each temperature. N = 30 juvenile individuals per temperature. N = 90 juvenile individuals in total. Equations are in the form y = aMb (±95% CI), where y is the variable of interest, a is the coefficient (elevation), b is the exponent (slope), and M is body mass in grams.NSIndicates no significant difference in slope between temperatures (ANCOVA, P>0.05);*indicates a significant difference in elevation between 15 and 25°C (P†indicates a significant difference in elevation between 15 and 35°C (P‡indicates a significant difference in elevation between 25 and 35°C (P
