Mating frequencies in Drosophila single-pair crosses

Male Female
Conspecific hs-tra non-hs tra hs-tra+mel hs-tra+sim
D. melanogaster 96.7 70 95 86.7 20
D. sechellia 14 5.9 0 8 0

Mating frequency given as % in 60 minutes in single-pair crosses between D. melanogaster, D. sechellia, D. simulans, and D. mauritiana males, conspecific females, and various types of D. melanogaster females. n ≥ 30 for all crosses except non-hs-tra (n = 20).
