Comparison of longevity between a laboratory strain and a natural population of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) under field cage conditions
The South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) is one of the most destructive fruit pests in this region, infesting major fruit crops. Implementation of the sterile insect technique (SIT) as part of an area-wide integrated approach against this species requires information on the su...
