Complementary Sex Determination in the Parasitic Wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Plos One, 2015-03)We studied the sex determination in Diachasmimorpha longicaudata, a parasitoid braconid wasp widely used as biological control agent of fruit pest tephritid flies. We tested the complementary sex determination hypothesis ... -
Direct and indirect host-related volatile compounds attract a fruit fly parasitoid, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Wiley, 2024-02)Fruit fly pests (Diptera: Tephritidae) are a serious problem for fruit production and for local and international trade. Biological control is increasingly included as a pest control tool within integrated pest management ... -

(Wiley, 2024-06)This special issue comprises papers presented at the 7th International Entomophagous Insects Conference (IEIC7), in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2023. Entomophagous insects, which prey on or parasitize other insects, play ... -
Genetics and biology of Anastrepha fraterculus: research supporting the use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) to control this pest in Argentina
(BMC, 2014-12)Two species of true fruit flies (taxonomic family Tephritidae) are considered pests of fruit and vegetable production in Argentina: the cosmopolitan Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann) and the new world ... -
Male sexual enhancement after methoprene treatment in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) : a sustained response that does not fade away after sexual maturation
