Table 1.

Mating success of female D. pseudoobscura, D. persimilis, F1 hybrids, and backcross offspring within two attempted copulations

Females To male D. pseudoobscura To male D. persimilis
D. pseudoobscura 88% (112) 30% (110)
D. persimilis 30% (106) 78% (120)
F1 hybrids 85% (236) 75% (175)
BCper* 64% (654)
BCps 64% (573)

Significant effects detected by composite interval mapping: 

 Mating of BCper females to D. pseudoobscura males: 

  2 quantitative trait loci completely linked to XL and 2nd chromosome    (DPS2002) inversions. 

 Mating of BCps females to D. persimilis males: 

  2 quantitative trait loci completely linked to XL and 2nd chromosome    (DPS2002) inversions. 

Sample sizes are presented parenthetically.
