The role of greater competitive ability in countering age disadvantages in larval competition in Drosophila melanogaster
Srikant Venkitachalam, Auroni Deep, Srijan Das, Amitabh Joshi
This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster populations adapted to larval crowding better counter age disadvantages in competition than low-density controls, but differences in egg size and hatching time among these populations do not improve their performance against age-disadvantaged competitors.
