Differential impacts of ionizing radiation on a sexually dimorphic trait in male and female Acheta domesticus
Abstract
PURPOSE: In many Orthopteran species, including crickets, forewings exhibit substantial sexual dimorphism driven by sexual selection. In the cricket, Acheta domesticus, females are the 'choosy' sex and males exhibit multiple sexual signals to attract and successfully mate. Male forewings have highly specialized structures critical for acoustic signaling and mating. In contrast, female forewings currently serve no known purpose in this …
