Insect food uptake rates

We compiled a data set of consumption and assimilation rates through ontogeny for different insects. Data was retrieved from a comprehensive literature search of insect consumption and assimilation through ontogeny, which resulted in data for 41 insects from 6 orders being included in the present analysis (Coleoptera (n = 14), Lepidoptera (n =14), Hemiptera (n = 6), Orthoptera (n =5), Diptera (n =1), and Neuroptera (n = 1)). Where possible, data was extracted from tables or requested from the original authors of the study, otherwise figures were digitized so that data points could be extracted.我们构建了一套涵盖不同昆虫个体发育过程中取食率与同化率的数据集。本数据集通过全面检索昆虫个体发育阶段取食与同化相关文献获得，最终纳入本研究分析的数据集包含6个目共41种昆虫的数据：鞘翅目（Coleoptera，n=14）、鳞翅目（Lepidoptera，n=14）、半翅目（Hemiptera，n=6）、直翅目（Orthoptera，n=5）、双翅目（Diptera，n=1）以及脉翅目（Neuroptera，n=1）。若条件允许，我们从文献表格中提取数据或向研究原作者索要原始数据；若无法通过上述途径获取，则通过数字化文献插图以提取其中的数据点。

背景与挑战

背景概述

该数据集包含41种昆虫的个体发育过程中食物消费和同化率数据，用于研究体型缩放关系。数据基于动态能量预算理论，区分了种间和个体发育的比较，支持消费率在种间缩放指数接近1、而在个体发育中缩放较慢（指数0.70）的预测。
