Analysis of competitive interactions in triocultures of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Competitive interactions in complex mixtures of genotypes have rarely been studied despite their obvious importance in both natural and commercial populations. Here, we describe a procedure for the analysis of competition in tripartite mixtures of Drosophila melanogaster genotypes. We have utilised a substitution design coupled with a yield-density regression analysis which describes intra- and inter-genotypic...
