Hatching success was excellent under overwintering conditions of repeated freeze-thaw. The variance in mean egg wt was great but increased egg wt (egg yolk) did not improve hatching success. Dry wt and fecundity were highly variable in this population. Egg wt, egg and spiderling number are positively correlated with dry weight of the female parent.}, keywords = {[Wisconsin / / Bascom Woods]., Agelenopsis potteri (Araneae)., Agelenopsis potteri [Weight / / Egg weight, Arachnida (Arthropoda)., Arachnida [Reproductive techniques / / Egg sac overwintering technique, Biometrics, care, Ecology, female relationships] [Hatching success / / ] [Productivity / / ], hatching success \& dry, hatching success \& production, hatching success \& production] [Egg number / / Dry weight of, Land zones, Nearctic region, North America, Parental, Reproduction, Reproductive behaviour, Reproductive productivity, technique, Techniques, USA, weight of female relationships] [Care of eggs / / Egg sac overwintering, Wisconsin].}, isbn = {0030-1299}, url = {://ZOOREC:ZOOR11500014847}, author = {Harrington, C.
