Though some species of the fraterculus group of true fruit flies involve some of the greatest threats to national fruit production, we still know very little about their biology and differentiation. In previous projects, we used genome and transcriptome sequencing data to identify thousands of regions in the genomes of different Anastrepha species with great potential to enable us to asse…
Fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha are endemic to South America and harbor several important agricultural pest species, particularly those belonging to the fraterculus group. Despite their economic importance, and the several articles that has provided relevant genetic and morphological information about species in this group, and in the genus, there are still several important unresolve…

The fraterculus group of fruit fly species, which belong to the genus Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae), has great economic importance, because it is highly polyphagous and bears a large number of generalist species and pests that oviposit on different fruits. In general, these species are separate by morphological taxonomy, however the limits of this differentiation are difficult to be d…
Social amoebae of the genus Dictyostelium, especially Dictyosteliumdiscoideum, are widely used as a model organism for biological studies in population genetics and molecular and cell biology. Although D. discoideum maintains a unicellular and asexual life cycle most of the time, when subjected to food shortages, they aggregate in a multicellular shape and form peduncles with spores that …
Fruit flies are pests of great economic importance as they are responsible for major losses in fruit plant crops. An expressive example are flies of the genus Anastrepha, which, although it presents a relevant number of species present in Brazil, divided into 13 groups, has as group of greater economic importance the fraterculus group, in which are contained the main agricultural plagues …
