Abstract
Variations of sociodemographic reproductive cells made it possible to determine that promiscuity and polygyny are the basic types of sexual interrelations in Pacifastacus leniusculus Dana. This gives evidence for a wide spectrum of behavioral potentiality of the species under the conditions of changing sociodemographic structure of the population. Pairing has a strict determinative character. Motor structures of the phases of this process are performed in a strict succession. This peculiarity of sexual behavior in P.l. forms the basis of reproductive isolation from other species of freshwater crayfish.
