The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Identification and characterization of doublesex from the pumpkin fruit fly, Bactrocera tau (Diptera: Tephritidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
The sex determination cascades in insects are diversified at the top of the cascade, where different primary molecular signals are employed, while at the bottom of the cascades, particularly the doublesex genes, are highly conserved.

Characterising Hot Spots of Mediterranean Fruit Fly Infestation in Apple Orchards: Implications for Pest Monitoring and Management

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1248-1258, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly, Ceratitis capitata [Wiedemann]) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a significant pest causing sizeable economic burden and fruit damage to crops worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean area. In deciduous orchards, monitoring the population of Mediterranean flies is an intensive and expensive process.

Effects of temperature on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in larvae of Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) parasitized by Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): Optimizing the mass rearing of this braconid by varying the temperature

European Journal of Entomology, 2019
Diachasmimorpha longicaudata is the most widely used endoparasitoid in biocontrol programmes against various species of tephritids and is continuously mass-reared under laboratory conditions at a constant temperature; however, little is known about how ...

Does a shift to a novel host plant create a defence‐free space for a specialist herbivore species?

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2085-2095, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While host switches can promote speciation in herbivorous insects, the benefits of switching hosts have only been ascribed to escaping competition and natural enemies. Herbivores might also escape from the defences of their ancestral host if their new host species lacks

Oviposition strategies and interactions among invasive and native fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) on guava (Psidium guajava L.)

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Oviposition and agonistic behaviour are important traits for understanding the pattern of coexistence and choice of host fruit shared between natives and invasive species. This study aimed to evaluate the interspecific interactions and the choice of the oviposition sites among three native species of fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha ...

Comparison between different individuals of Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) Scutellata (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephtitidae) reveals differential mutation rates of mitochondrial genes

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Bactrocera scutellata (Diptera: Tephritidae), which is an economically important pest in many area of East Asia.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Tracking individual Bactrocera tryoni: Wind effects and natural movement

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 854-868, August 2025.
Modeling insect movement relies on accurate characterizations of natural step distances, turning angles, and speed. Harmonic radar was used to observe male Queensland fruit fly (Qfly), Bactrocera tryoni (Diptera: Tephritidae), movements (natural and disturbance‐induced) in papaya (Carica papaya, Caricaceae).
