The formation of a hatching line in the serosal cuticle confers multifaceted adaptive functions on the eggshell of a cicada
Abstract Insect eggshells must meet various demands of developing embryos. These demands sometimes conflict with each other; therefore, there are tradeoffs between eggshell properties, such as robustness and permeability. To meet these conflicting demands, particular eggshell structures have evolved...
