Which outcome results when ecdysone production prematurely diminishes during nymphal insect stages?

💡 Explanation

Premature ecdysone reduction induces precocious insect development, because insufficient hormone signaling triggers pupation before adequate larval growth completion; therefore, pupation initiates too early rather than allowing adequate resource accumulation.
