These crickets are targeted by a parasitoid fly that is attracted to their song. We found fly attack rates vary across populations which influences allelic variation in the region underlying a protective male-silencing 'curly-wing' phenotype. Also, these crickets give birth to a new type of ant

A finding we didn't anticipate is that these small, fragmented populations share many large/very large structural variants - presumably inversions, presumably influenced by balancing selection. We don't know what their phenotypic consequences are, but they have substantial effects on gene expression

Don't have anything like that, sorry.
