| Abstract: | Summary During interspecific competition, eggs of the same age, of 2 different species, experience different speeds of development.
In each mixed culture there exist 2 different peaks of adult emergence. Here is a mechanism ensuring that the maximum number
of one of the competing species emerges first followed by the other. The possible implications of this are discussed.
Thanks are due to Dr S.R. Ramesh and Iris Sedlak for their assistance in the preparation of the line drawings. |
