Abstract Drosophila pseudoobscura stocks maintained in laboratory culture for some time had altered mate recognition systems compared with recently collected control stocks. Three showed a significant deviation from random mating; in one, a tendency toward homogametic mating was recorded. Such deviations are in marked contrast to results from populations which have been recently collected from the field. Asymmetrical mating was observed in two of the crosses in the direction predicted by the Kaneshiro model.
