Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Within the Neotropical genus Anastrepha, the nominal species Anastrepha fraterculus is widely distributed from Mexico through northern Argentina. Currently it is believed to comprises a complex of at least eight cryptic species—known as the Anastrepha ...

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 ...

Development and evaluation of pupal color-based genetic sexing strains in Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae). [PDF]
Insect SciTwo spontaneous mutations in pupae of the West Indian fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua, named bp and sp, were isolated and studied. The bp mutation was selected, and using two types of Y‐autosoma l translocation inducers and an appropriate crossing scheme, two genetically sexed strains based on pupa l color were developed for the first time in this species,

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.

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.

South American Fruit Fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritidae)
EDIS, 2004 Anastrepha fraterculus was described in the genus Dacus by Wiedemann (1830), based on specimens from Brazil. This species is of great economic importance because of the wide variety of plants which it attacks and its extensive distribution.
