Synonymization of key pest species within the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex (Diptera: Tephritidae): Taxonomic changes based on a review of 20 years of integrative morphological, molecular, cytogenetic, behavioural and chemoecological data

TL;DR: A major international collaborative and integrated multidisciplinary research effort was initiated in 2009 to build upon existing literature with the specific aim of resolving biological species limits among B. papayae, B. philippinensis and B. dorsalis to overcome constraints to pest management and international trade.

Synonymization of key pest species within the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex (Diptera: Tephritidae): taxonomic changes based on a review of 20 years of integrative morphological, molecular, cytogenetic, behavioural and chemoecological data

Mark K. Schutze, +57 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Bactrocera papayae, B. carambolae and B. dorsalis (Hendel) were identified as the senior synonym of B. philippinensis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colonisation and mass rearing: learning from others

TL;DR: Parallels are drawn to studies in other insect SIT programmes and aquaculture which serve as vital technical reference points for mass-production of mosquitoes, most of whose development occurs - and characteristics of which are determined - in an aquatic environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional embryonic lethality to improve the sterile insect technique in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

TL;DR: The high competitiveness of the transgenic lines and the achieved 100% embryonic lethality causing reproductive sterility without the need of irradiation can improve the efficacy of operational medfly SIT programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mating Incompatibility Among Populations of the South American Fruit Fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)

TL;DR: Taxonomic revision of this cryptic species complex is warranted based on behavioral results, which confirm morphometric, genetic, and other evidence, and one practical implication is that colonies of this pest to be used in any sterile insect technique approach should be derived from the target population or from a compatible population.
