Would anyone be willing to share their raw data on clutch size (number of eggs per egg mass) in different species of stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)? I am working on a project looking at the ecological/evolutionary factors shaping the mean and variability in pentatomid egg mass size. I am particularly interested in getting data from predatory stink bugs (Asopinae). Happy to include contributors as co-authors if they wish to continue to participate in the development of the manuscript as well. Thanks!
Hi Paul, I suggest you try contacting my graduate student, Talita Roell (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Talita_Roell). She is conducting her research on the phylogeny of Asopinae, and maybe she can be interested in this subject (clutch size). If you are also looking for information on Pentatominae, there are several papers published in Portuguese by Dr. Grazia's group that I can share with you.
Thanks Luiz! Could you please private message me her e-mail address, perhaps?
Hi Paul,
My graduate student Eduardo Punshke has data on clutch size on Dichelops furcatus (Pentatominae: Pentatomini) under different environmental conditions (different host plants, different seasons).
Hi Paul, there are some data on clutch size from a Pygoplatys (Tessaratomidae) in our paper Magnien et al. 2008. Nouv. Revue Ent (N.S.) 24 (2): 99-112. Best regards, Koen

Do you need RAW DATA or means +-SE/SD will be OK. I counted egg mass size in Nezara viridula a few years ago and means are in my papers, but to get raw data now would be a challenge...
