- agroecologist · plausible
“Ceratoma trifurcata is a well-documented soybean pod-feeding beetle; the quantified feeding rate of ~0.494 pods/day per adult is specific but biologically reasonable and directly supported by the source quote.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Ceratoma trifurcata adults are well-documented pod feeders on soybean; a per-capita daily feeding rate of ~0.494 pods is a specific but biologically reasonable quantitative threshold consistent with IPM literature.”
