The effects on development time of larval competition that is interrupted at different times are analyzed in an experiment with constant larval density and varying proportions of two competing strains. Interruption of competition is carried out by means of the overfeeding technique, which allows for

In experiments on sexual competition in Drosophila melanogaster, the course of mating succes with time is represented by a sigmoid curve. By logarithmic transformation such curves are changed into straight lines that can be compared by covariance analysis. This method allows discrimination of the be
We have examined the effects of density and frequency in the larval competition of Drosophila melanogaster by measuring three fitness components: viability (V), mean development time (MDT) and a combination of these two (E). We have detected (contrary to most published results) non-linear effects of
