Paternity assurance during the first breeding period of wild-caught female snow crab
In the laboratory, recently-molted females often copulate serially with a single male or, provided the opportunity, with several different males. After any number of copulations, and sometimes before the end of a series of successive copulations, eggs are extruded and attached beneath the abdomen wh...
