The paper deals with self-regulation processes in confined populations of Tribolium. Using the marking method, studies were made of the effects of adult population density and of conditioning of the medium on fecundity and egg mortality resulting from cannibalistic predation in experimental populations. The estimates were made of rates of fecundity, egg cannibalism and the survival of eggs. The two species revealed very efficient regulatory mechanisms which, under certain ecological conditions, can restrain almost completely the recruitment of new larvae to the populations. It was found that in T. confusum it was the egg cannibalism which was the major mean of regulation, and in T. castaneum – the restriction of potential fecundity, associated with crowding and conditioning of the medium.
