Marlene Zuk and her colleagues' work on the field cricket T. oceanicus provided insights into how natural selection can operate in a natural setting over short periods of time. Which of the following best describes Zuk's work on the Hawaiian islands? The cricket population neared extinction due to parasitic fly infestations, and many conservation biologists fear that their numbers will not recover. Parasitic flies acted as a selection pressure that drove changes in the wing morphology and behavior of male crickets. O The researchers found no evidence that morphology and behavior would respond to strong selection pressures such as those imposed by parasitic flies. All male crickets adopted a "silent calling" strategy for attracting females to avoid being detected by parasites Male crickets adopted a new behavioral strategy to avoid parasitic infection but, surprisingly, their morphology appeared not to change over time.
