利用赤拟谷盗黑色突变体进行交配行为对基因型适合度的影响研究。结果表明，平均而言，一个男性基因型产生相对更多的后代时，它是在一个少数比当它是在一个多数。虽然可能存在频率依赖性交配成功，但该实验无法将这种效应与频率依赖性子代产生分开。这里报告的频率依赖性的净结果，并命名为频率依赖的后代生产将是在一个群体中的遗传变异的维护。
An experiment utilizing the black mutant in Tribolium castaneum was designed to determine the contribution of mating behavior to the fitness of a genotype. The results indicated that, on the average, a male genotype produces relatively more offspring when it is in a minority than when it is in a majority. While frequency-dependent mating success may have been present, the experiment was unable to separate this effect from the frequency-dependent progeny production. The net result of the frequency dependence reported here and entitled frequency-dependent progeny production would be the maintenance of genetic variation in a population.
