P.59 2nd paragraph: "Table 4 gives mean egg volumes for each species of Drosophila with 95% confidence limits. [Investigators] now have information for each species on its allocation of reproductive effort to clutch size and to egg size. Depending on its body size each species has a different quantity of resource to allocate." |
