Intra- and interspecific competition resulting from spatial coexistence among larvae of closely-related caddisflies from the genus <i>Hydropsyche</i>.

Size and weight may represent extra potential energy resources available for combat, which might be significant in longer fights ( Songvorawit, Butcher & Chaisuekul, 2018 ; Ebot-Ojong, Jurado & Davis, 2019 ); however, in the case of Hydropsyche spp., direct interactions are usually short, and it is more likely that body weight could offer an advantage in pushing the rival ( Okada et al., 2012 ; Goyens, Dirckx & Aerts, 2015 ).
