Illustration showing that mating affinities between males and females of two species, Drosophila sechellia and D. simulans, are asymmetric, with strong affinity between D. sechellia males and D. simulans females. The genetic loci that we have identified in female mate choice segregate with isolation with D. simulans males, and hybridization with D. sechellia males.
