Extended pregnancy during matrotrophy in cockroaches increases progeny survival during dry periods

Gabrielle LeFevre, Jacob M. Hendershot, Sophie Shemas…·Joshua B. Benoit

This study shows that prolonged viviparity in cockroaches improves progeny survival during dry periods by enhancing maternal dehydration resistance and post-birth survival.
