A cDNA subtraction approach to isolate male-specific genes from Ceratitis capitata : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University [PDF]
, 2003 The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceraritis capitata (medfly), is a significant world wide agricultural pest. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a biological method that has been used to control medfly successfully in several parts of the world for around two ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.We present an extensive phylogenetic analysis, based on 293 nuclear loci and 728 individuals representing 237 species of Anastrepha, the largest and most economically important New World genus of Tephritidae. The analysis strongly supports the monophyly of most Anastrepha species groups, also revealing previously unknown relationships among species and

Adaptation to divergent larval diets in the medfly, Ceratitis capitata
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2016 Variation in diet can influence the timing of major life‐history events and can drive population diversification and ultimately speciation. Proximate responses of life histories to diet have been well studied.

Phylogenomics and the evolution of larval feeding habits in the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.Phylogenomic data from anchored hybrid enrichment provide a new phylogeny of Calliphoridae that delimits the family and confirms division into eight monophyletic subfamilies. Fossil‐calibrated divergence times place the origin of Calliphoridae in the mid‐Eocene (ca. 41 Mya) along with other rapidly radiating families of oestroid Diptera. Reconstruction
