Dr. John Rotenberry studied the ecology/population biology of birds in arid shrublands & grasslands for 40+ years. In recent years, his research includes impacts of parasitoid flies on ecology, behaviour & the evolution of Pacific field crickets alongside partner Dr. Marlene Zuk.

The Toronto Star on March 10, 2023 🍌🪰 "Fruit flies have been studied for decades, with Charles Darwin, considered the “father of evolution,” being one of their biggest fans, partly due to their fast reproduction rates and, presumably, their love of sex." ow.ly/p43950Npzcz

#TheSilenceOfTheCrickets: A Thread. 3/3. Males became mute from structural changes to wing shape, which formerly created recognizable chirps when rubbed together. However, these flatwing males may be parasite-free, but how do they find a mate without singing? It's still #TBD.

#TheSilenceOfTheCrickets: A Thread. 1/3. By the early 00s, male Pacific field crickets in Hawaii have gone completely quiet. 🦗🔕 Dr. Marlene Zuk wanted to know why. Turns out their well-known chirping drew attention from more than just potential mates. #RiskyBusiness #BugSex

#TheSilenceOfTheCrickets: A Thread. 2/3. To secure the next generation of offspring, parasitic flies hacked the acoustic signalling system of crickets, zeroed in on the sound's origins, & deposited sticky larvae onto the male crickets, eventually killing them. #FatalAttraction
