Total developmental time from egg to adult emergence ranged between 23 and 31 days and was shorter on smaller hosts (ANCOVA: F 1,109 =8.11, P <0.005, r 2 =0.05, n =112) and shorter in broods developing from larger numbers of eggs (ANCOVA: F 1,109 =32.48, P <0.001, r 2 =0.22, n =112); the interaction between these main effects was marginally nonsignificant (ANCOVA: F 1,108 =3.62, P =0.060, n =112).
