- Increased food abundance increases egg number but does not change diameter nor
generation time ([[Troedsson and coll., 2002|biblio/10.3354_meps243083]]).
Food reduction before day 4 causes growth arrest (GA), in which all cell cycles
- While _O. dioica_ was not reported on the atlantic and pacific coasts of Costa Rica, its
presence is considered plausible ([[Castellanos, Morales-Ramírez and Suárez-Morales,
2009|biblio/10.1007_978-1-4020-8278-8_41]]).
