Effect of Diet and Metamorphosis on the Stable Isotopes of <i>Ectropis grisescens</i> (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Metamorphosis (pupae to moth) of Ectropis grisescens affected all stable isotopes, with δ<sup>13</sup>C, δ<sup>15</sup>N, and δ<sup>2</sup>H values increasing, whereas δ<sup>18</sup>O values showed a marked decrease from pupae to moth tissue.
