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

Bacterial Symbionts in Ceratitis capitata
Insects, 2022 Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) is responsible for extensive damage in agriculture with important economic losses. Several strategies have been proposed to control this insect pest including insecticides and the Sterile Insect Technique. Traditional control methods should be implemented by innovative tools, among which those based on insect ...
