Frequency-dependent mating behavior has been observed in Drosophila pseudoobcura, but most experiments have used only 4-day-old virgin flies. One report has indicated that rare-male behavior may be affected by age. Males and females of the Arrowhead strain along with rare orange-eyed males were used in the present study to confirm that frequency-dependent mating behavior is operating with 4-day-old females but is absent by 11 days. The same situation is also observed when Chricahua males and females are used along with rare Arrowhead males.
在拟暗果蝇中观察到了频率依赖的交配行为，但大多数实验只使用了4日龄的处女蝇。一份报告表明，稀有雄蝇行为可能受年龄影响。在本研究中，使用箭头品系的雄性和雌性以及稀有的橙眼雄性，以确认频率依赖的交配行为在4日龄雌蝇中存在，但在11日龄时不存在。当使用奇里卡瓦雄性和雌性以及稀有的箭头雄性时，也观察到了同样的情况。
