Mate choice confers direct benefits to females of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 AbstractExposure to plant compounds and analogues of juvenile hormone (JH) increase male mating success in several species of tephritid fruit flies. Most of these species exhibit a lek mating system, characterized by active female choice. Although the pattern of enhanced male mating success is evident, few studies have investigated what benefits, if ...

Current knowledge of the species complex Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera, Tephritidae) in Brazil. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2015 The study of the species complex Anastrepha fraterculus (Af complex) in Brazil is especially important in a taxonomical, evolutionary and pest management context, because there are evidences that some of them may occur in sympatry. In this review, we analyzed the main results supporting evidences that three cryptic species occur in Brazil.
