Experiments showed that larval competition for food is not always the result of decreases in the amount of food available per larva as population density increases. The feeding period during which the larvae try to attain the minimum survival weight may be restricted when food quantity is not limiting. The scramble type competition involves both exploitation and interference components, in degrees which vary with population density.
实验表明，幼虫对食物的竞争并不总是随着种群密度增加、每个幼虫可获得食物量减少的结果。当食物量没有限制时，幼虫试图达到最低生存体重的摄食期可能会受到限制。争夺型竞争涉及剥削和干扰成分，其程度随种群密度而变化。
