Diapause termination of Rhagoletis cerasi pupae is regulated by local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity: escape in time through bet-hedging strategies
Moraiti, C. A.; Nakas, C. T.; Papadopoulos, N. T. (2014)Persistence and thriving of univoltine, herbivore insect species of the temperate zone rely on obligate diapause response that ensures winter survival and synchronization with host phenology. We used a stenophagous fruit ... -
Geographical variation in adult life-history traits of the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Moraiti, C. A.; Nakas, C. T.; Koppler, K.; Papadopoulos, N. T. (2012)To understand the evolution of local adaptation, the interplay between natural selection and gene flow should be considered. Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a patchily distributed, stenophagous species of ... -
The grapevine aphid, Aphis illinoisensis: thermal requirements for development and its performance on six grapevine cultivars
Moraiti, C. A.; Margaritopoulos, J. T.; Zarpas, K. D.; Tsitsipis, J. A. (2012)The grapevine aphid, Aphis illinoisensis (Shimer), has invaded various regions in the Mediterranean basin. The aim of this study was to determine the thermal requirements for aphid development and to assess its performance ... -
Microsatellite and Wolbachia analysis in Rhagoletis cerasi natural populations: population structuring and multiple infections
Augustinos, A. A.; Asimakopoulou, A. K.; Moraiti, C. A.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Bourtzis, K. (2014)Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major pest of sweet and sour cherries in Europe and parts of Asia. Despite its economic significance, there is a lack of studies on the genetic structure of R.cerasi populations. ... -
Prolonged pupal dormancy is associated with significant fitness cost for adults of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Moraiti, C. A.; Nakas, C. T.; Papadopoulos, N. T. (2012)In temperate areas, dormancy (diapause and/or quiescence) enables herbivorous insect species to persist and thrive by synchronizing growth and reproduction with the seasonal phenology of their host plants. Within-population ...
