title: A biometrical analysis of a mating characteristic in Drosophilia.
abstract: A model is described for the biometrical analysis of interaction behavioural characteristics. The model is illustrated by analysis of the mating speed of Drosophila pseudoobscura derived from crosses of fast and of slow mating strains generated through artificial selection.
