a. Maybe more flies will emerge. D. repleta is a larger species and may requie more time for development.
b. The substrate was less suitable for development of the D. repleta larvae. Even the presence of many D. 'melanogaster' larvae may make the substrate unsuitable.
c. Maybe adults of D. repleta were there but did not oviposit.
