Differences in sperm storage and remating propensity between adult females of two morphotypes of the Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-06)The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, is a complex of cryptic species composed of at least seven morphotypes. Some of them, such as the Peruvian and Brazilian 1 morphotypes (which include Argentinean ... -
Expression analysis of genes putatively associated with hygienic behavior in selected stocks of Apis mellifera L. from Argentina
(2017-11)Hygienic behavior is an economically beneficial, heritable trait, which has evolved to limit the impact of honeybee pathogens. Selecting and breeding colonies with high levels of hygienic behavior has become a feasible and ... -
Fruit infestation patterns by Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata reveal that cross-recognition does not lead to complete avoidance of interspecific competition in nature
(Wiley, 2015-08)1. The avoidance of parasitized or infested hosts, which is a common phenomenon in parasitic wasps and phytophagous insects, may act both intra- and interspecifically. Most studies on chemically-mediated avoidance of ... -
Individual precocity, temporal persistence, and task-specialization of hygienic bees from selected colonies of apis mellifera
(2016)Hygienic behaviour is a complex trait that gives Apis mellifera L. resistance against brood diseases. Variability in the expression of hygienic behaviour is evidenced at the colonylevel and is explained by the proportion ...
