概要

• 論文の詳細を見る

• The reproductive cycle of Lipinia noctua was studied from a histological examination of museum specimens from the Pacific islands. The smallest reproductively active males (spermiogenesis underway) measured 33 mm in snout-vent length (SVL). All males collected in the 11 examined months exhibited spermiogenesis. Mean litter size for 25 females was 1.5±0.51 SD, range 1-2. The smallest reproductively active female (one oviductal embryo) measured 34 mm SVL. Anatomical and histological evidence is presented indicating L. noctua can produce multiple litters in the same year.
