Ancestral populations perform better in a novel environment: domestication of Mediterranean fruit fly populations from five global regions
(2011)Geographically isolated populations of a species may differ in several aspects of life history, morphology, behaviour and genetic structure as a result of adaptation in ecologically diverse habitats. We used a global ... -
Dual reproductive cost of aging in male medflies: Dramatic decrease in mating competitiveness and gradual reduction in mating performance
(2011)Although age-based effects on the reproductive success of males have been reported in several animal taxa the cost of aging on male mating success in lekking species has not been fully explored. We used the Mediterranean ... -
Effects of Wolbachia on fitness of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2011)Wolbachia pipientis is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and other arthropods exerting a wide range of biological effects on their hosts. A growing number of recent studies document the influence of Wolbachia on ... -
Life history evolution in a globally invading tephritid: Patterns of survival and reproduction in medflies from six world regions
(2009)Comparisons among populations from different localities represent an important tool in the study of evolution. Medflies have colonized many temperate and tropical areas all over the world during the last few centuries. In ... -
Life-history evolution of an invasive tephritid
(2008)Natural selection and genetic drift may cause divergence in several life-history and behavioural traits among populations of cosmopolitan insect species that have evolved in allopatry. The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis ... -
Medfly populations differ in diel and age patterns of sexual signalling
(2008)Insect populations may differ in several life history traits, including behavioural ones such as sexual signalling. We tested whether male Mediterranean fruit fly (medlfy), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), ... -
Physiological and biological patterns of a highland and a coastal population of the European cherry fruit fly during diapause
(2011)Adult emergence of univoltine temperate insect species and its synchronization with specific host phenological stages is mainly regulated by obligatory pupal diapause. Although a few studies have investigated the factors ... -
Population-specific demography and invasion potential in medfly
(2011)Biological invasions are constantly gaining recognition as a significant component of global change. The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) constitutes an ideal model species for the study of biological invasions due to its ... -
Reproduction is adapted to survival characteristics across geographically isolated medfly populations
(2009)We propose the hypothesis that individual longitudinal trajectories of fertility are closely coupled to varying survival schedules across geographically isolated populations of the same species, in such a way that peak ...
