| Abstrakt: | Sexual selection often drives traits in a direction that is disfavored by natural selection. The balance between these two types of selection can shift rapidly in response to environmental changes. Gallagher et al. (2024) report such a shift in the cricket population following the introduction of a parasitoid fly. The ancestral male morph, though still preferred by females, has been supplanted by multiple novel morphs that are more difficult for the parasitoid to detect. (© The Author(s) 2024.
