Mating preference and the direction of evolution in Drosophila

T K Watanabe et al. Science. 1979.

Abstract

Differences in the degree of successful matings between pairs of reciprocal hybrid matings indicate the direction of evolution among related species of Drosophila. Females of a derived species do not mate with males of the ancestral species, whereas females of the ancestral species readily mate with males of the derived species.
