Alaboratory experiment followed the growth of a flour beetle population over time. at first the population increased dramatically but later growth slowed and the population size leveled off. while food (the wheat flour in which they live) was abundant, the flour beetles began to eat their own eggs when densities got high. what might we hypothesize about this behavior in the flour beetles?
