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
