Populations of Drosophila melanogaster derived by bidirectional selection for high (HA) and low (LA) aggregated oviposition behaviour differ significantly in the duration of the larval period and adult size because of differences in the developmental profiles for feeding rate over successive phases of larval growth. Feeding rates of HA larvae are significantly lower than those of LA larvae during the flexible...
