Abstract
Uma notata females were held over the winter under 24 hours of light per day. These animals laid from two to four clutches of eggs, with 4 to 7 weeks between clutches. Clutches contained two to four eggs. Additional light is believed to be more important than heat in causing this response.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
