    Differential Response to Photoperiod by Diverging Rhagoletis pomonella (Diptera: Tephritidae) Populations Exploiting Host Plants with Different Fruiting Phenology

    Photoperiod has been found to influence the proportion of non-dormant individuals and the duration of dormancy among North American populations of Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae). In particula...

    Temporal dynamics of diversity in a tropical fruit fly (Tephritidae) ensemble and their implications on pest management and biodiversity conservation

    The fact that pests are the most abundant species in agricultural settings has broadly precluded the attention to non-pest species and the study of temporal dynamics of diversity in agroecosystems. Because, ag...

    Are individuals from thelytokous and arrhenotokous populations equally adept as biocontrol agents? Orientation and host searching behavior of a fruit fly parasitoid

    Hymenopteran parasitoids generally reproduce by arrhenotoky, in which males develop from unfertilized eggs and females from fertilized eggs. A minority reproduce by thelytoky, in which all-female broods are de...
