| Popis: | Inthis study, the effects of secondary metabolites on the feeding preference andgrowth of generalist caterpillars, Agelasticaalni L., were investigated. Feeding experiment has been applied with atotal of 11 diet; 6 of which were prepared by adding different concentrationsof gallic acid (1, 3, 5 %) and quinine (0.125, 0.25, 0.5 %) to the controldiet, 3 diet of which prepared by adding different concentrations of gallicacid and quinine. According to the results, the amount of gallic acid consumeddid not affect the food consumption and the amount of pupa lipids. However, theamount of gallic acid consumed positively affects the pupal mass and the pupalcrude protein. In addition, the amount of quinine consumed negatively affectedthe developmental performance of larvae except for the food consumption. As thecount of secondary metabolites in the diet increases, the pupal mass and thepupal crude protein decrease. Overall, during the co-evolution processs, A. alni larvae may be able to adapt togallotannins. However, quinine, an alkaloid, is a feeding deterrence and growthsuppressor for larvae.
