Early egg traits in Cancer setosus (Decapoda, Brachyura): effects of temperature and female size

open access: yes, 2009
Previous study on Cancer setosus (Molina, 1782) had shown that latitudinal changes in temperature control the number of annual egg masses. This study focused on the effects of pre-oviposition temperature and female size on egg-traits in C.
