The role of the proteinase inhibitor ovorubin in apple snail eggs resembles plant embryo defense against predation
Background: Fieldwork has thoroughly established that most eggs are intensely predated. Among the few exceptions are the aerial egg clutches from the aquatic snail Pomacea canaliculata which have virtually no predators. Its defenses are advertised by the pigmented ovorubin perivitellin providing a c...
