Within taxa at the class or family level, the developmental period is often proportional to adult life span. In Drosophila species, a short developmental period increases larval competitive ability. Species with a long adult life, however, may have a better chance to reach new breeding sites in time and space. In another paper (Sevenster & Van Alphen 1993), we presented a model incorporating this trade-off. It shows that fast larval developers («fast species») are dominant when breeding opportunities are frequent, and that good adult survivors («slow species») are dominant when breeding opportunities are scarce. Moreover, the model demonstrates that a fast and a slow species may coexist in intermediate environments
