Contest competition in Drosophila subobscura
- Abstract:
-
The role of larval intraspecific competition in laboratory populations of Drosophila subobscura was investigated. Mortality is density-independent during the first 3 days after hatching but becomes density dependent as development proceeds to pupation. Although total biomass per patch was independent of initial egg density, competition between Drosophila larvae leads to the formation of smaller pupae. This resulted in a population that was dominated by suppressed individuals. Development rate...
