Abstract
Mating success of large and small adults of Drosophila malerkotliana and D. bipectinata was studied using multiple, male and female choice methods. In the multiple choice method the large male mated with large female and small male paired with small female. In the female choice method, large male was successful in mating with female irrespective of its size while in the male choice method, preferential mating occurred between large male and large female as well as small male and small female. The consequence of such non-random mating in the presence of male rivalry and preferential mating is discussed.
