Abstract
The response to selection by single pair (SP) and mass (M) methods was greater in slow lines. SP females determined mating activity, but in M lines both sexes did so. M males started wing vibration at a closer distance and proceeded to flapping sooner than SP males. Behavioural indices showed SP fast and M slow males used pheromone signalling to slow females more often than did controls.
