Embryonic growth 



Eggs from a single clutch increased significantly in 

 size from the ES II ( 1.71 mm) to ES V ( 1.96 mm) (paired 

 /-test: t=4.Q04; 3 df; P=0.02) in approximately one year 

 of incubation in the laboratory. Within each asynchro- 

 nously developing clutch, eggs in ES II ( 1.87 mm) were 

 significantly smaller than those in ES IV or ES V 



(1.94mm) (completely randomized ANOVA; F=22.5; 

 1,12 df; P<0.001). Egg size at a given stage of develop- 

 ment varied significantly among females (F= 13.28; 

 12,12 df; P<0.001). This demonstrates that embryonic 

 growth cannot be generalized from eggs of individual 

 female P. granulosa.
