Frugivorous species of tephritid flies, including species of Anastrepha, use a large variety of host fruits and display two strategies related to the resources used in the larval stage. In one group, the species are specialized (monophagous/oligophagous) exploring host fruits from a determined genus or family of plants while in the other group, the species are generalists (polyphagous) ex…
Genus Anastrepha of the tefritid fruit flies is endemic of the Neotropical Region and congregates some species that are considered of economic importance since they infest fruits of commercial value. Among these species the nominal Anastrepha fraterculus occurs from southern USA to central-north of Argentina. This species actually represent a complex of cryptic species, the fraterculus co…
Fruit flies belonging to Tephritidae family are considered important pests of fruit culture all over the world since they use commercial varieties of fruits for larval development. Besides the direct losses caused in fruit production, they impose severe restrictions to consumption and to exportation of fruits. The nominal species Anastrepha fraterculus is one of the most economic importan…
