“…and Raubenheimer () in which two variables (in our case, protein and carbohydrates) are experimentally manipulated across a “landscape.” Previous nutritional geometry studies show that both protein and carbohydrate availability is strongly associated with variation in foraging behavior, oviposition rate, development, reproduction, and longevity in a number of different insect species (e.g., Jensen et al., ; Lee et al., ; Lihoreau et al., ; Maklakov et al., ; Morimoto & Wigby, ; Reddiex et al., ; Rodrigues et al., ). For instance, while hissing cockroach females, Gromphadorhina portentosa , prefer to feed on relatively high‐protein foods (Carrel & Tanner, ), female D. melanogaster instead prefer foods with relatively higher carbohydrates, as sites for both their feeding and egg laying (Lihoreau et al., ; Rodrigues et al., ). A female's decision where to oviposit is also potentially important to the success of her offspring (e.g., Anderson et al., ; Morimoto & Wigby, ; Rodrigues et al., ) since the characteristics of the natal diet during development influence numerous fitness‐related traits.…”
