Encountering competitors reduces clutch size and increases offspring size in a parasitoid with female–female fighting (2007)
Journal Article
Goubault, M., Mack, A. F., & Hardy, I. C. (2007). Encountering competitors reduces clutch size and increases offspring size in a parasitoid with female–female fighting. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 274(1625), 2571-2577. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2007.0867

Understanding the size of clutches produced by only one parent may require a game-theoretic approach: clutch size may affect offspring fitness in terms of future competitive ability. If larger clutches generate smaller offspring and larger adults are...
