Abstract:		"An alternative explanation to the pheromonal control of mating through chemoreceptor saturation proposed by Averhoff and Richardson (1974) is offered for the apparent rise in heterogamic mating in their experiments, after several generations of full-sib mating. In a multiple-choice mating between two genotypic strains differing in their level of sexual vigor, there is a sequence from heterogamic to homogamic mating. It is proposed that, by reducing mating speed, inbreeding changes the rate of this sequence but not its pattern, so the apparent level of heterogamic mating will increase during inbreeding, for a fixed observation period. This hypothesis was tested using the Kence-Bryant model of mating success"
