Consider a cricket that has recently colonized a remote oceanic island from a source population on a continent. How do you expect the average size of wings in the island population to compare with the average size on the continent? How do you expect wing size in the island population to evolve over the next several hundred generations?

Following are the steps are given below:-

Explanation:

It is estimated that the average wing size of the continent population would be bigger than the total wing scale of a continents population. The explanation behind this is that only crickets with a high wing size can probably to travel the long distance to the island. Crickets with tiny wings can not fly large distances. The size of the wings will be decreased for the next few hundred years on the island, where there's no need to fly long distances. Larger wings have no use in a small island and are thus a likely risk for potential predators to easily identify. Big wings likewise consume more energy than small wings. Consequently, over the next several hundred years, the wings would gradually get smaller.
