(2008, unknown): “To sidestep these confounding effects and to directly address the impact of sugar feeding on energy reserves, we developed a method using HPLC analysis to study the overall sugar level and sugar spectrum of individual field-collected insects (Heimpel et al., 2004; Steppuhn and Wäckers, 2004; Wäckers”
