Genetic consequences of domestication and refreshment on colonies of the South American fruit fly [PDF]

Insect Science
Abstract For almost a decade, natural populations of the South American fruit fly have been targeted for control through Sterile Insect Technique projects. To ensure a sustainable supply of competitive sterile flies for this approach, it is essential to understand the effects of domestication when strains of this ...
