When I grew up I learned that the reindeer often ride in a different order, Santa uses our parents as informants, and the beauty of the words of many of our carols tell more than the facts of the story of the first Christmas. They speak to the heart of the night Jesus was born.
Previous work demonstrated that parasitized populations have altered song structure, response to disturbance and calling behaviour compared with unparasitized populations (Zuk et al. 1993, 1995, 1998, 2001; Rotenberry et al. 1996; Lewkiewicz & Zuk 2004). Here we document a much more extreme and rapid adaptive change, near-complete loss of calling, in the Kauai population, and examine its consequences for mate location and the evolution of mate choice in the context of interaction between behavioural plasticity and morphological adaptation.
Loss of calling clearly protects the crickets from the parasitoid. Although flies are still attracted to sound traps on Kauai, out of 121 flatwings dissected, only one harboured parasitoid larvae, versus greater than 30% infestation rates previously associated with normal-winged males on Kauai. But this protection comes with the price of losing the sexual signal. How do females locate silent flatwing males? Moreover, like most field crickets, T. oceanicus males produce a courtship song after a female is within close range. Females in this and other species require the male to produce the courtship song before mounting to receive a spermatophore (Burk 1983; Libersat et al. 1994). Flatwings can produce neither calling nor courtship song, and crickets are not known to use long-range pheromones for mate location (Tregenza & Wedell 1997). Nevertheless, the now-thriving population of T. oceanicus on Kauai suggests that the obstacles in both detecting and accepting mates have been overcome.
Average (1 s.e.m.) distance that Teleogryllus oceanicus males of two wing morphologies approached speakers playing island-specific calling songs. Sample sizes (number of males) in parentheses. Omitting four flatwings from Oahu owing to small sample size, approach distances vary significantly among islands (ANOVA F2,179=17.95, p
How do the flatwings deal with their inability to produce courtship song? Experiments examining the response of females to flatwings versus normal-winged males at close range are underway, but field observations of mating flatwings at speakers suggest that Kauai females at least will accept males without hearing the courtship song, in striking contrast to findings in this and other species where the courtship song is essential to induce mounting by females (Burk 1983; Libersat et al. 1994). Females on islands may have reduced choosiness owing to selection against those females with a narrow range of mate preferences. In small island populations founded by relatively few individuals, choosy females may simply never find an acceptable mate and hence are at a disadvantage compared with less discriminating females (Kaneshiro 1980).
Because guitar was not an instrument approved by the Church, the duo waited until the conclusion of Christmas Eve mass before debuting the song. Mohr sang tenor and strummed the guitar while Gruber sang bass, with the congregation coming in on the chorus.
To celebrate the song's bicentennial, the Salzburg Museum is currently presenting an exhibit on its 200 year legacy, which will also be officially marked at 13 Silent Night locations around Salzburg, Upper Austria and Tirol.

It was on Christmas Eve in 1818 that Franz Xaver Gruber first performed the Silent Night song to the lyrics of a poem written by Joseph Mohr in a tiny chapel in Oberndorf, around 20 kilometres from Salzburg city. Now, pockets of the world stand still every year on the very same evening and recite the same message.
As part of a series of events and locations related to Silent Night (in German: Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht), you can trace the origins of this eternal song on a journey across three regions of Austria. From its inception to its first printing, to the singing families who carried it across Europe and beyond, you can journey through Upper Austria, SalzburgerLand and Tirol.
While the original chapel of St. Nikola on Oberndorf bei Salzburg where Silent Night was first performed no longer stands, you can still feel the presence of how this song would have made such an emotional impact in a tiny space. While living in Arnsdorf, Franz Xaver Gruber took an additional job as organist at the St. Nikola Church, which is where he met Joseph Mohr.
Running through the market area is the main street of Grünmarkt and it is here that you can visit the former printing house of Joseph Greis who produced a songbook in 1928 that first documented Silent Night in written form, and which was multiplied and sold.
Also in Hochburg-Ach, you can walk the Franz Xaver Gruber Peace Trail in the village marked by sculptures representing every continent. This was constructed not only to connect the village on a walking trail but also to promote a sense of unity and to discover the peaceful meaning of the song.
By the time you make it to Tirol (Tyrol), the Silent Night journey is all about the singing and how the song came to be taken from Austria and carried around Europe and beyond, including its long travel around North America.
It stands as a means of living history in testimony to the singing merchants from Zillertal, who realised that by singing, they attracted more customers at the market where they would sell local handicrafts, most notably the leather gloves. Silent Night was a part of their musical catalogue and from this means the song began to spread.
A large section is dedicated to the story of the Rainer family, who carried the Silent Night song to North America and Russia, alongside dedications to other singing families such as Strasser and Hauser, who all started the journeys of concert tours.
From humorous four-line poems, sung by competing singers, and seen as the earliest collection of folk songs in Austria, to the traditional Tyrolean dance of the Tramplan, this interactive musical journey is where you can even practice Tyrolean dance moves and yodelling sounds.
From there the family got letters of recommendation and it opened the doors into other aristocratic circles and the chance for the song to spread wider. In 1827, the Rainer family travelled Hamburg to London and met with King George IV who had costumes tailored for them. It was here that Maria Strasser famously kissed the King causing quite the scandal of the time!
The second generation of Rainer singers travelled America from 1839-1843 from Quebec down to New Orleans. Christmas Day 1839 is said to be where the song was first performed in New York at the Alexander Hamilton Memorial (in the Trinity Church cemetery, end of Wall Street). Ludwig Rainer performed with three friends, travelling and singing in a group known as The Rainer Family.
Silent Night is the most popular Christmas Carol, one of the best-known songs and quite possibly the song that is the most well-travelled and dispersed throughout the world. While you can journey on a location trail across Austria, its message of peace is everlasting, and its meaning is just as special today as it ever was.
