Larval mass and survival data for Maniola jurtina under drought stress, UK
Larval mass and survival data for Meadow Brown butterflies (Maniola jurtina) originating from nine different source populations in the UK and reared under one of two host plant treatment groups (either control or drought stress) in an outdoor insectary at UKCEH under natural environmental conditions. Each individual larva was monitored at three growth check points throughout development: 49 days after hatching (pre-overwintering), 162 days after hatching (post overwintering during larval growth) and 309 days after hatching (late larval growth and pupation phase). Larval masses (mg) were recorded for all individuals that survived up to the second growth monitoring point and the number of larvae that survived until the third growth monitoring point were recorded.

- Statement
- Newly hatched larvae were randomly selected and collected from laboratory stock populations that originated from nine different populations in UK. The larvae were placed (four per plant and all originating from the same laboratory source population) on potted host plants of Poa trivialis (either control or drought-stressed) and reared in netted cages in an outdoor insectary at UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) under natural environmental conditions. The outdoor insectary at UKCEH is an enclosed structure with a solid floor and roof, and 4 walls that are constructed such that they are half solid (bottom to mid-section), and half wire mesh (from mid-section to roof). The outdoor insectary provided the larval rearing cages with protection from rain and wind, but exposed them to the prevailing natural day/night temperatures, light and photoperiod. As a higher mortality was expected with drought stress, a total of 108 and 216 larvae were assigned to the control and drought stress treatment groups, respectively, and each laboratory source population contributed equivalent numbers of larvae to each treatment group.
