Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive phytophagous pests arising through a recent tropical evolutionary radiation: the Bactrocera dorsalis complex of fruit flies.
Anthony R. Clarke,Karen F. Armstrong,Amy E Carmichael,John R Milne,S. Raghu,George K. Roderick,David K. Yeates +6 more
TL;DR: The Bactrocera dorsalis complex of tropical fruit flies contains 75 described species, largely endemic to Southeast Asia, and development of a phylogeny of the group is considered a high priority to provide a framework for future evolutionary and ecological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA barcodes for biosecurity : invasive species identification
TL;DR: DNA of tussock moth and fruit fly specimens intercepted at the New Zealand border over the last decade were reanalysed using the cox1 sequence barcode approach, highlighting several advantages of DNA barcodes, especially their adaptability and predictive value.
Journal Article
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species delimitation and global biosecurity
TL;DR: Overall, the tip to root approach described here is recommended where careful consideration of species delimitation is required to support crucial biosecurity decisions based on accurate species identification.
