Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research on the speciation of Hawaiian crickets has led researchers to conclude that these cricket species have diverged by a mechanism known as assortative mating, in which females of different species have strong preferences for the singing pulse rate of the males of their own species. This female preference for male singing pulse rate is genetically linked to the combination of genes regulating the singing pulse rate of males. Therefore, all of the given options are accurate.
