flour beetles. The effects of competition on these organisms have often led to interesting discoveries of their behavior. In one study‚ conducted by Sonleitner and Guthrie (1991)‚ they determined that limited resources in a crowded space effects the ovipostion rate of the flour beetles. When beetle population densities become too high for their area‚ the female beetles respond by lowering their oviposition rates. These condition changes include nutrition depletion‚ accumulation of dead beetle skin
