Length, yolksac volume, and chemical content oi Pseudopleunmectes americaniis larvae at hatching. Values are the estimated means 

 along with the standard deviation. For standard length and yolksac volume. N = 30 (10 larvae from each of 3 females). For RNA, DNA, 

 and protein content, N = 9 (3 pools of 40 larvae each from 3 females). Percents in brackets are coefficients of variation of the grand 

 mean. Where the interaction between adult spawning temperature and embryo incubation temperature was not significant, main-effects 

 means were calculated and Tukey's studentized range test applied to these values. Where the temperature interaction factor was signifi- 

 cant, simple main effects were tested. Values in a row with a superscrip letter in cnmmim or bracketed values in a column are not 

 significantly different (P<0.05).
