Size-Normalized Fecundity Reveals Reversed Geographic Patterns in the Porcelain Crab Pachycheles laevidactylus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Porcellanidae)

Fecundity in pleocyemate crustaceans is defined as the number of eggs produced per spawning event and is strongly dependent on female body size, which can limit direct comparisons among populations. To address this limitation, we evaluated geographic variation in fecundity in the...
