Maternal influences on offspring size variation and viability in wild European lobster Homarus gammarus
In many marine species, large females tend to produce more robust offspring than small females. However, knowledge on maternal influences in decapod crustaceans is limited. This is unfortunate since many decapod populations are being intensively harvested and show signs of ‘juvenescence’, i.e. the l...
