Consumption and excretion were determined using the method based on analysis of uric acid in faeces, production – by gravimetric and calorimetric methods, whereas respiration – using volumetric respirometer and cartesian divers microrespirometers. Full instantenous and cumulative energy budget was given as well as indices of energy transformation efficiency: U-1, K1 and K2. A great difference was observed in production and metabolism level between the male and the female. T. confusum was compared as regards bioenergy characters with an allied species T. castaneum Hbst. and other insect species.}, title={Energy budget and production efficiency of Tribolium confusum Duval in the development cycle}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/81772/PDF/WA058_88115_P2840-T37_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-1-2.pdf}, volume={37}, number={1-2}, journal={Ekologia Polska}, publisher={Polish Scientific Publishers}, keywords={Tribolium confusum, Tribolium castaneum, energy budget, indices of energy transformation efficiency}, }
