Protective geometry and reproductive anatomy as candidate determinants of clutch size variation in pentatomid bugs
P. K. Abram, E. Guerra-Grenier, J. Brodeur…·I. C. W. Hardy
The paper investigates clutch size variation in pentatomid bugs, finding that reproductive anatomy, specifically ovariole number, plays a more significant role than egg mass geometry in determining clutch size uniformity.
