Summary WhenDrosophila simulans females from the Seychelles are crossed withD. mauritiana males the number of hybrids produced decreases with an increase in, both density of flies and male/female proportion. The patterns are consistent in the reciprocal cross although the number of progeny is reduced. The asymmetry of mating success affects not only mating preference and the outcome of the cross, but also the progeny numbers.
