Flesh-eating parasitizing maggots are the offspring of the fly, ormia ochracea, which invaded hawaii from north america. the adult flies follow the chirps of a calling cricket and then deposit wriggling maggots onto the cricket's back. the maggots burrow into the cricket, and emerge, a week later, killing the cricket in the process. between 1991 and 2001, there were documented major declines in the island's cricket population. in one study, 30% of calling males were infested with the parasite, and in 2001, the island was virtually silent. but in 2003, the cricket population had rebounded. crickets were back but they were silent crickets! what is the best explanation of how this happened?

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
