title: The effects of inbreeding and ventilation on mating behavior in Drosophila pseudoobscura.
abstract: Two outbred and two inbred lines of Drosophila pseudoobscura were used in mating behavior studies. For each line, mating rates were compared under both ventilated and nonventilated conditions. Under nonventilated conditions courtship and mating were earlier, not following a random rate of occurence, and females mated after fewer courtships. Flies from inbred lines tended to court and mate earlier. Under all conditions a high proportion of matings occured on the first courtship attempt.
