Behavioural plasticity compensates for adaptive loss of cricket song
Behavioural flexibility might help animals cope with costs of genetic variants under selection,
promoting genetic adaptation. However, it has proven challenging to experimentally link …

Temporal genomics in Hawaiian crickets reveals compensatory intragenomic coadaptation during adaptive evolution
Abstract Theory predicts that compensatory genetic changes reduce negative indirect effects
of selected variants during adaptive evolution, but evidence is scarce. Here, we test this in a …

Competing adaptations maintain nonadaptive variation in a wild cricket population
JG Rayner, F Eichenberger, JVA Bainbridge… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - pnas.org
How emerging adaptive variants interact is an important factor in the evolution of wild
populations, but the opportunity to empirically study this interaction is rare. We recently …

Male crickets in poor condition engage in less same-sex sexual behavior
J Richardson, IP Hoversten, M Zuk - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2024 - pnas.org
Same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) is widespread among animals and is often treated as an
evolutionary anomaly or mistake. An alternative view is that SSB occurs because individuals …

A neglected conceptual problem regarding phenotypic plasticity's role in adaptive evolution: The importance of genetic covariance and social drive
NW Bailey, C Desjonquères, A Drago… - Evolution …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
There is tantalizing evidence that phenotypic plasticity can buffer novel, adaptive genetic
variants long enough to permit their evolutionary spread, and this process is often invoked in …

Variable dosage compensation is associated with female consequences of an X-linked, male-beneficial mutation
JG Rayner, TJ Hitchcock… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Recent theory has suggested that dosage compensation mediates sexual antagonism over
X-linked genes. This process relies on the assumption that dosage compensation scales …

Quiet but not forgotten: Insights into adaptive evolution and behavior from 20 years of (mostly) silent Hawaiian crickets
Over 20 years ago, an adaptive, silent male morph called 'flatwing'was discovered in a
population of Hawaiian crickets (Teleogryllus oceanicus). Silence protects males against …

Intralocus sexual conflict can maintain alternative reproductive tactics
MM Gamble, RG Calsbeek - bioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) are ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom.
Multiple mechanisms have been proposed to explain the maintenance of ARTs over time …
