Fig. 5. Histological ovarian sections of females caught in June (a, d), July (b, e), and August (c, f). PAS staining with hematoxylin counterstain. Mid-vitellogenic stage oocytes (M) and early-vitellogenic stage oocytes (E) were observed in ovaries from females caught in June (a), whereas only mid-vitellogenic stage oocytes (M) were observed in the ovary of a female caught in July (b). Smaller oocytes (oocytes in perinucleolus or younger stages) are absent in these individuals caught in June and July (a, b). No oocytes but many blood vessels (arrowheads) were observed in the ovary of a female caught in August (c, f). Scale bar = 50 µm.
