Within the last decade or two, the vast majority of Hawaiian field crickets (Teleogryllus oceanicus) have lost the ability to create their mating song due to a mutation affecting the male crickets' wings. This mutation, referred to as "flatwing," has been overall beneficial for the crickets, keeping them safe from a parasitic fly that finds them by listening to their song. However, scientists are interested in how the rapid spread of this mutation has affected the crickets' social dynamics.
