Overlap of Lepidoptera species in frugivorous (this study) and leaf-chewer (different study, [68]) guilds.
<p>Overlap of Lepidoptera species in frugivorous (this study) and leaf-chewer (different study, [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0171843#pone.0171843.ref068" target="_blank">68</a>]) guilds.</p
Mean volume for whole fruit, mesocarp and seeds (a) and fleshiness (b) in plant species attacked and not attacked by Lepidoptera.
<p>The differences between attacked and non-attacked species are significant (whole fruit: U <sub>106,151</sub> = 5624, Z = 3.064, P = 0.002; mesocarp: U <sub>106,151</sub> = 5828, Z = 2.69, P = 0.007; seeds: U <sub>106,151</sub> = 5346, Z = 3.574, P < 0.0010), (b) Fleshiness (i.e. proportion of mesocarp in whole fruit) did not have significant effect on infestation (U <sub>106,151</sub> = 6839, Z = 0.83, P = 0.401).</p
The number of plant species attacked (black bar) and not attacked (white bar) by frugivorous Lepidoptera in samples categorized by (a) fruit weight and (b) the number of fruits.

Relationship between seed and mesocarp volume for 268 plant species attacked and not attacked by Lepidoptera.
<p>Relationship between seed and mesocarp volume for 268 plant species attacked and not attacked by Lepidoptera.</p
Density of all frugivorous Lepidoptera, and both specialist and generalists, per fruit.
<p>Host species are ranked from highest to lowest density for 326 plant species with samples of >1 kg and >50 fruits. Note that all plants to the right of each curve exhibited zero density for the herbivore category in question that cannot be shown on the log scale d y axis.</p
Data and Code for Hungry Caterpillars
An archive folder containing the 54 files needed to reproduce the results and figures reported in 'Varyingly Hungry Caterpillars: Predictive Models and Foliar Chemistry Suggest How to Eat a Rainforest'. The folder includes both raw data and files for analysis and one README file. Each file is described in the README file and is presented in the same order as in the R file containing the script necessary for the analyses
