Fig. 4. (A) Mass of dry yolk solids consumed (predicted initial egg yolk solids – measured residual yolk solids) by embryos during development increases with yolk-free hatchling mass (Myc=0.29Myfh–3.94; r2=0.52). (B) Mass of residual yolk solids rM decreased as mass of yolk-free hatchling increased irrespective of initial egg mass (rMryd=–1.03rMyfhd+0.41; r2=0.58). Statistical residuals from the regression of the mass of residual yolk solids and the mass of yolk-free hatchling on initial egg mass were obtained from regression equations in Figs 1 and 3 and plotted against each other, revealing a trade-off between retaining residual yolk and producing a hatchling.
