Tephritid flies threaten the production of fruits around the world.In the Americas,populations of the genus Anastrepha are monitored with trapping networks as part of pest management programs.Here,we report the formul...
Among tephritid fruit flies,hybridization has been found to produce local adaptation and speciation,and in the case of pest species,induce behavioral and ecological alterations that can adversely impact efficient pest...
The propensity of females to cross with more than one male is a relevant aspect in tephritid fruit fly biology since many species are pests of fruticulture.The knowledge about mating systems of a target pest-species i...
The behavioral responses of virgin and mated female Anastrepha striata Schiner (Diptera: Tephritidae) to guava (Psidium guajava L.) or sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) were evaluated separately using multilure...
