title: Effects of female behavior on wing display and courtship of male Drosophila simulans and Drosophila melanogaster.
abstract: Corrolations between female rejection behaviors and male wing display were calculated for both Drosophila simulans and Drosophila melanogaster intraspicific pair-matings. No significant correlations were found for D. melanogaster, but in D. simulans flicking by the female appeared to be associated with a shift in male wing display pattern resulting in higher levels of vibration. Flicking did not appear to discourage courtship by males in either species.
