dc.description.abstract | In lowland deciduous forests of Costa Rica, larvae of the bruchid beetle, Caryedes brasiliensis feed solely on the seeds of the leguminous vine, Dioelea megacarpa (Janzen, 1971). Over 95% of the free amino acid nitrogen and 55% of all nitrogen in the seed is the free amino acid, L-canavanine (Rosenthal, 1977). | es_CR |
