Drosophila species (Diptera: Drosophilidae) oviposition patterns on fungi: The effect of allospecifics, substrate toughness, ovipositor structure and degree of specialisation

To determine if small-scale resource partitioning aids coexistence in fungal breeding Diptera we investigated the avoidance of interspecific larval competition by micro-resource partitioning of the host substrate in several species of Drosophila ovipositing on fungal fruiting bodies. No avoidance wa...
