IAEA Coordinated Research Project on "A generic approach for the development of genetic sexing strains for Sterile Insect Technique applications"- an overview. [PDF]
Insect SciAbstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) plays an important role in environmentally sustainable pest management. Its effectiveness hinges on specialized genetic tools called genetic sexing strains (GSSs), which enable the production and release of sterile male insects while excluding females.

Detection of sex chromosomes in Tephritid pests using R-CQ and KAMY, two computational methods to support generic pest management applications. [PDF]
Insect SciHere, we present R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods developed for the detection of sex chromosome‐linked sequences. We evaluate their performance on newly generated chromosome‐level assemblies of four important Tephritid pest species: Ceratitis capitata, Bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera zonata, and Anastrepha ludens.

Genomic Traces of the Fruit Fly Anastrepha obliqua Associated with Its Polyphagous Nature
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary Individuals of a polyphagous species, such as Anastrepha obliqua, that plague different host plants, present differences at the genome level; these differences are associated with adaptive processes related to the exploitation of the ...

Annual Research & Review in Biology, 2021 Fruit-bearing plants in the Brazilian Amazon are mainly attacked by species of Anastrepha, of which about half are endemic to the region. However, tritrophic relations (fly/plant/parasitoid) have only been established for some 25% of the species of ...

Journal of Insect Science, 2021 Ammonia is considered a key component in the attraction of tephritid flies to protein-based lures. The addition of ammonium acetate to improve hydrolyzed protein-borax mixtures used to monitor tephritids has not been evaluated, although it has improved ...
