• Genetic and cytogenetic analysis of the fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera : Tephritidae) 

      Kounatidis, I.; Papadopoulos, N.; Bourtzis, K.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P. (2008)
      The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi, is a major agricultural pest for which biological, genetic, and cytogenetic information is limited. We report here a cytogenetic analysis of 4 natural Greek populations of ...
    • Genetic and Cytogenetic Analysis of the Walnut-Husk Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) 

      Drosopoulou, E.; Koeppler, K.; Kounatidis, I.; Nakou, I.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Bourtzis, K.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P. (2010)
      Genetic and cytogenetic information is an essential basis for understanding the biology of insect pests, as well as for designing modern control strategies. The walnut husk fly, Rhagoletis completa (Cresson) (Diptera: ...
