How the seed coat affects the mother’s oviposition preference and larval performance in the bean beetle (Acanthoscelides obtectus, Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae) in leguminous species

Table 4 Emergence and development time of A. obtectus adults and mortality of developmental stages in host and acceptable non-host seeds. Percentage data are presented as medians (see quartiles in Additional file 1: Table S4)
