Abstract excerpt
When two types of Drosophila are in competition, the frequency dependence of mating success is measured routinely in our laboratory and many others by direct observation of mating pairs in observation chambers. In these experiments, the Sex Ratio (number of males divided by the number of females) is usually 1:1. Various authors have shown that the male sexual activity depends on the Sex Ratio. We wished to...
