Effects of embryo energy, egg size, and larval food supply on the development of asteroid echinoderms

Abstract Organisms have limited resources available to invest in reproduction, causing a trade‐off between the number and size of offspring. One consequence of this trade‐off is the evolution of disparate egg sizes and, by extension, developmental modes. In particular, echinoid echinoderms (sea urch...
