Morphological traits, allometric relationship and competition of two seed-feeding species of beetles in infested pods

Pair-wise competition produces asymmetric consequences for the interacting species, resulting in reduction of species fitness at the individual scale; however, little is known of the effects of competition on the allometric patterns of insects. In this study, we explored how competition, by means of...
