CCA analysis of the relationship between fruit composition and survival of the larvae of seven tephritid species. (a) Position of the fruit species in the factorial space of CCA analyses with contribution of nutrient composition and larval survival on the studied fruits. (b) Contribution of the nutrient composition to the factorial space. (c) Position of larval survival of the seven tephritid species in the factorial space. Host fruits belonging to the Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae families are in green and red, respectively.
