Timing Is Everything. Temporal and Spatial Niche Segregation in spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Associated with Oak Trees.

Oak seed predatory weevils occurring in Poland are prone to increased interspecific competition due to the limited number of species, compared to southern Europe, in which they can develop. Therefore, analyses on the preferences of three weevil species for acorn sizes chosen for reproduction, as well as on reproductive period duration, were performed. Cafeteria-type experiments were set for females of three species associated with one oak species.
