Abstract
⺠We tested the effect of fly parasitism on the evolution of cricket singing behaviour. ⺠Unexpectedly, male crickets from high-risk populations did not show a reduction in total singing activity. ⺠Similarly, males did not show a temporal shift in singing activity to avoid parasitoids. ⺠Other cricket traits may reduce the risk of parasitism risk.
