Assimilation, Ingestation, Egastation
A study of consumption by moth caterpillars in Hubbard brook forest
revealed that they ingested 48 kcal/square meter/year of which about 16 kcal/square
meter/year was used in cellular respiration and 8 kcal/square meter/year was stored as
growth and reproduction.
