- Mean size at each ontogenetic stage is displayed (mm). Means are determined as an average of n measurements; n dictates total number of individuals measured. n (capsules) dictates number of capsules individuals were measured from and that were examined at each stage. Where n/a is stated, value was inapplicable or not determined
-
aOnly capsules with 2 or more individuals included
