A Comparison of Three Approaches for Larval Instar Separation in Insects—A Case Study of <i>Dendrolimus pini</i>

A Comparison of Three Approaches for Larval Instar Separation in Insects—A Case Study of <i>Dendrolimus pini</i>

The number of larval instars is important from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Three previous studies based on head capsule widths (HCWs) have suggested that <i>Dendrolimus pini</i> larvae pass through seven instars, but the estimated HCW means differed greatly. Various meth...
