Condition-Dependent Effects of Mating on Longevity and Fecundity of Female Medflies: The Interplay between Nutrition and Age of Mating
Papanastasiou, S. A.; Nakas, C. T.; Carey, J. R.; Papadopoulos, N. T. (2013)Background: In various species mating exerts direct and indirect effects on female demographic traits ranging from life span shortening to behavioural shifts. A wealth of data regarding effects of nutrition on longevity ... -
Cost of reproduction in male medflies: The primacy of sexual courting in extreme longevity reduction
Papadopoulos, N. T.; Liedo, P.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Molleman, F.; Carey, J. R. (2010)In polygynous insect species, male reproductive success is directly related to lifetime mating success. However, the costs for males of sexual activities such as courting, signaling, and mating are largely unknown. We ... -
Cross-amplified microsatellites in the European cherry fly, Rhagoletis cerasi: medium polymorphic-highly informative markers
Augustinos, A. A.; Asimakopoulou, A. K.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Bourtzis, K. (2011)The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a major pest of cherries in Europe and parts of Asia. Despite its big economic significance, there is a lack of studies on the genetic structure ... -
Current advances in the study of the ecology of fruit flies from Europe, Africa and the Middle East

Cytogenetic analysis of the Ethiopian fruit fly Dacus ciliatus (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Drosopoulou, E.; Nestel, D.; Nakou, I.; Kounatidis, I.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Bourtzis, K.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P. (2011)The Ethiopian fruit fly, Dacus ciliatus, is an important pest of cucurbits, which recently invaded the Middle East. The genetics and cytogenetics of D. ciliatus have been scarcely studied. Such information is, however, an ... -
Description of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) Pupal Developmental Stages: Indications of Prolonged Diapause
Papanastasiou, S. A.; Papadopoulos, N. T. (2014)The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the key pest of sweet and sour cherries in many European countries and west Asia. It is a univoltine species of the west Palaearctic zone ... -
