Therefore, natural selection could potentially affect growth rate in this species at any point during its juvenile development. The development rate also varied among families. This variation must explain in part the growth rate variation observed among families. In general, high growth rates in any given interval were inversely correlated with the duration of an intermolt inter- val. Rapid growth and rapid development appear to co-occur during development. However, this correlation has little bearing on the variation in growth observed TABLE II Results ofANCOVA of carapace width regressed against length for each family at each molt Molt F (adjusted means) F (slopes) 1 (121) (119) (118) 4 (118) (114) 6 (90) (116) (114) (113) (113) (109) * (85) F values for tests of homogeneity of adjusted means and slopes are given.

The denominator degrees of freedom are given in parenthesis. *P< Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
