Ontogenetic Coupling of Growth Rate with RNA and P Contents in Five Species of Drosophila

1. We studied the associations among growth rate, RNA content and P content at ~12-h intervals during the larval stage in five species of Drosophilids that specialize on host foods that differ substantially in P content. 2. Consistent with expectations based on the 'growth rate hypothesis'...
