The elimination of the larvae by enemies,for instance, will, other things being equal, be so much the moreincisive the longer the larval development is protracted, but in thatcase the general ratio of elimination of the species, and the degree offertility the species must possess in order to hold its own in thestruggle for existence, will also play a part in determining the mo
