Table 5 Percentages of correctly assigned species (ratios between parentheses) for viable eggs (V), non-viable eggs (NV) and both, using either size or shape, egg contour or operculum
From: Triatominae: does the shape change of non-viable eggs compromise species recognition?
Species | Egg | Operculum | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
