Divergent Evolutionary Pressures Shape Olfactory Sensitivity of the Maxillary Palps in Tephritidae Fruit Flies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Tephritids maxillary palps are particularly sensitive to pheromones and male lures, and these olfactory sensitivities are shaped by evolutionary forces. ABSTRACT Olfaction is a rapidly evolving sense. Given its diverse functions, from finding ecological niches to selection of mates, we hypothesized that olfaction is subjected to divergent evolutionary ...

Oviposition preference hierarchy in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera, Tephritidae): influence of female age and experience [PDF]

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2001
The influence of two factors, age and previous experience, on the oviposition hierarchy preference of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) females was studied. Two populations were analyzed: one reared in laboratory during 17 years and the other captured

Tephritid Fruit Fly Species Composition, Seasonality, and Fruit Infestations in Two Central African Agro-Ecological Zones

Insects, 2022
Bactrocera dorsalis and several Africa-native Ceratitis species are serious constraints to fruit production in sub-Saharan Africa. A long-term trapping and fruit collection study was conducted (2011–2016) in two contrasting agro-ecological zones (AEZs ...

Patterns of Remating Behaviour in Ceratitis (Diptera: Tephritidae) Species of Varying Lifespan

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Trade-offs between life-history traits offset the energetic costs of maintaining fitness in complex environments. Ceratitis species have been recorded to have long lifespans, which may have evolved in response to seasonal resource fluctuation. It is thus
