The effects of qualitative changes of individuals in the population dynamics of insectsted out “populations are composed of individuals, and individuals differ” (Wellington, 1957). More recently, Lomnicki (1988), in a series of elegant and wide-ranging models, showed that individual variation was an important influence on the population dynamics of a species, whether plant or animal.

The population dynamics of Tephritidae that inhabit flowerheadsld (Foote, 1984). With few exceptions, the larvae are phytophagous and feed inside specific plant structures, such as flowers, leaves, stems, roots or fruit. The greater number of species can be divided into two main ecological groups: those which inhabit flower-heads of herbaceous Compositae (=Aste

Practical considerations include ease of counting individuals at different life stages, of determining mortality factors, and of assessing what influences reproductive success, and the importance of local or large-scale movement on their abundance in
