mating compatibility among four pest members of the bactrocera dorsalis fruit fly species complex (diptera: tephritidae). | bactrocera dorsalis (hendel), bactrocera papayae drew & hancock, bactrocera philippinensis drew & hancock, and bactrocera carambolae drew & hancock are pest members within the b. dorsalis species complex of tropical fruit flies. the species status of these taxa is unclear and this confounds quarantine, pest management, and general research. mating studies carried out under uniform experimental conditions are required as part of resolving their species limits. these four taxa were collected from ... | 2013 | 23786057 |
niche overlap of congeneric invaders supports a single-species hypothesis and provides insight into future invasion risk: implications for global management of the bactrocera dorsalis complex. | the invasive fruit fly, bactrocera invadens, has expanded its range rapidly over the past 10 years. here we aimed to determine if the recent range expansion of bactrocera invadens into southern africa can be better understood through niche exploration tools, ecological niche models (enms), and through incorporating information about bactrocera dorsalis s.s., a putative conspecific species from asia. we test for niche overlap of environmental variables between bactrocera invadens and bactrocera d ... | 2014 | 24587234 |
the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of bactrocera minax (diptera: tephritidae). | the complete 16,043 bp mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of bactrocera minax (diptera: tephritidae) has been sequenced. the genome encodes 37 genes usually found in insect mitogenomes. the mitogenome information for b. minax was compared to the homologous sequences of bactrocera oleae, bactrocera tryoni, bactrocera philippinensis, bactrocera carambolae, bactrocera papayae, bactrocera dorsalis, bactrocera correcta, bactrocera cucurbitae and ceratitis capitata. the analysis indicated the structure ... | 2014 | 24964138 |
the mitochondrial genome of the peach fruit fly, bactrocera zonata (saunders) (diptera: tephritidae): complete dna sequence, genome organization, and phylogenetic analysis with other tephritids using next generation dna sequencing. | mitochondrial genome can provide information for genomic structure as well as for phylogenetic analysis and evolutionary biology. the complete 15,935 bp mitochondrial genome of bactrocera zonata (diptera: tephritidae), is assembled from illumina miseq read data. the mitogenome information for b. zonata was compared to the homologous sequences of other tephritids. annotation indicated that the structure and orientation of 13 protein coding genes (pcgs), 22 trna and 2 rrna sequences were typical o ... | 2015 | 26031235 |
the potential distribution of bactrocera dorsalis: considering phenology and irrigation patterns. | a species in the bactrocera dorsalis (hendel) complex was detected in kenya during 2003 and classified as bactrocera invadens drew, tsuruta & white. having spread rapidly throughout africa, it threatens agriculture due to crop damage and loss of market access. in a recent revision of the b. dorsalis complex, b. invadens was incorporated into the species b. dorsalis. the potential distribution of b. dorsalis has been previously modelled. however, previous models were based on presence data and di ... | 2016 | 26487373 |
resolving cryptic species complexes of major tephritid pests. | an fao/iaea co-ordinated research project (crp) on "resolution of cryptic species complexes of tephritid pests to overcome constraints to sit application and international trade" was conducted from 2010 to 2015. as captured in the crp title, the objective was to undertake targeted research into the systematics and diagnostics of taxonomically challenging fruit fly groups of economic importance. the scientific output was the accurate alignment of biological species with taxonomic names; which led ... | 2015 | 26798252 |
cytogenetic and symbiont analysis of five members of the b. dorsalis complex (diptera, tephritidae): no evidence of chromosomal or symbiont-based speciation events. | the bactrocera dorsalis species complex, currently comprising about 90 entities has received much attention. during the last decades, considerable effort has been devoted to delimiting the species of the complex. this information is of great importance for agriculture and world trade, since the complex harbours several pest species of major economic importance and other species that could evolve into global threats. speciation in diptera is usually accompanied by chromosomal rearrangements, part ... | 2015 | 26798263 |
comparative sensitivity to methyl eugenol of four putative bactrocera dorsalis complex sibling species - further evidence that they belong to one and the same species b. dorsalis. | males of certain species belonging to the bactrocera dorsalis complex are strongly attracted to, and readily feed on methyl eugenol (me), a plant secondary compound that is found in over 480 plant species worldwide. amongst those species is one of the world's most severe fruit pests the oriental fruit fly, bactrocera dorsalis s.s., and the former taxonomic species bactrocera invadens, bactrocera papayae and bactrocera philippinensis. the latter species have been recently synonymised with bactroc ... | 2015 | 26798265 |
historical perspective on the synonymization of the four major pest species belonging to the bactrocera dorsalis species complex (diptera, tephritidae). | an fao/iaea-sponsored coordinated research project on integrative taxonomy, involving close to 50 researchers from at least 20 countries, culminated in a significant breakthrough in the recognition that four major pest species, bactrocera dorsalis, bactrocera philippinensis, bactrocera papayae and bactrocera invadens, belong to the same biological species, bactrocera dorsalis. the successful conclusion of this initiative is expected to significantly facilitate global agricultural trade, primaril ... | 2015 | 26798266 |
epicuticular chemistry reinforces the new taxonomic classification of the bactrocera dorsalis species complex (diptera: tephritidae, dacinae). | bactrocera invadens drew, tsuruta & white, bactrocera papayae drew & hancock, and bactrocera philippinensis drew & hancock, key pest species within the bactrocera dorsalis species complex, have been recently synonymized under the name bactrocera dorsalis (hendel). the closely related bactrocera carambolae drew & hancock remains as a discrete taxonomic entity. although the synonymizations have been accepted by most researchers, debate about the species limits remains. because of the economic impo ... | 2017 | 28873446 |
