Interacting effects of egg number, egg mass and egg care on nymph number. The number of nymphs produced at hatching resulted from interactions between (A) egg number and mean egg mass, (B) egg number and mother weight loss and (C) mother weight loss and mean egg mass. As an illustration, the regressions lines are given for when (A) the mean egg mass was 0.55 mg (black), 0.65 mg (red) and 0.75 mg (green), as well as when (B & C) the relative female weight loss was 15% (black), 0% (red) or −15% (green).
