Sexual signal loss: The link between behaviour and rapid evolutionary dynamics in a field cricket.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 May 2018

Zuk Marlene, Bailey Nathan W, Gray Brian, Rotenberry John T

Abstract excerpt

Sexual signals may be acquired or lost over evolutionary time, and are tempered in their exaggeration by natural selection. In the Pacific field cricket, Teleogryllus oceanicus, a mutation ("flatwing") causing loss of the sexual signal, the song, spread in <20 generations in two of three Hawaiian islands where the crickets have been introduced. Flatwing (as well as some normal-wing) males behave as satellites,...
