The associations shown between species of Drosophila collected in 3 European countries are analyzed using a clustering method. The resulting dendrograms are combined to give a plan of associations shown by all 3 surveys. These general groups are interpreted in the light of what is known about Drosophila breeding sites. One ecological group, the fungal breeding species are examined in detail and their pattern of geographical associations investigated. The 3 most abundant species in collections, D. transversa, D. phalerata and D. cameraria appear to replace one another in a north-south direction in western Europe. Ecologically marginal areas may be defined using the frequency of a species within its ecological group.
