Impact of Different Developmental Instars on Locusta migratoria Jumping Performance

Figure 3

Mean velocities of third instar, fourth instar, and adult L. migratoria at (a) and (b). (c) Mean value calculated based on Equation (2) of all tested third instar, fourth instar, and adult locusts separately. Different letters above each bar indicate significant differences (). Whiskers represent standard errors. (d) The relationship between the jump energy of locusts after takeoff phase at moment and of all tested third instar, fourth instar, and adult locusts’ jumps.
