Tephritidae phylogeny In all three of these families, the phallus of the male is coiled at rest dorsal to the postabdomen in a space between it and tergite 5 (the plesiomorphic condition being coiled ventrally in front of the epandrium and surstyli). Aczél (in Hardy 1957) believed that the Pyrgotidae and Tephritidae arose from the same ancestors, and J.F. McAlpine (1989) suggested that the Pyrgotidae + Tachiniscidae are the sister group of the Tephritidae, whereas Korneyev (1992) proposed that the Platystomatidae and Tephritidae are sister taxa. Relationships among the subfamilies and tribes of Tephritidae were analyzed by Korneyev (1999b,c) based on morphology, and by Han and McPheron (1994, 1997, 1999) based on DNA sequence analysis. www.sel.barc.usda.gov /Diptera/tephriti/TephPhyl.htm   (2661 words)

True Fruit flies of the Afrotropical Region Fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) are one of the most economically important groups of insects in the Afrotropical Region. Because of the phytophagous life history of the fruit fly larvae, there is a distinct insect/host relationship in Tephritidae. White, I.M., Copeland, R.S. and Hancock, D.L.

AllRefer.com - fruit fly (Zoology: Invertebrates) - Encyclopedia All fruit flies are very small insects that lay their eggs in various plant tissues. The Tephritidae contains about 1,200 species characterized by wide heads, fl or steely green or blue bodies, iridescent greenish eyes, and wings that are usually mottled brown or fl. Drosophila melanogaster, also called vinegar fly, is a much used laboratory insect; its 10-day life cycle and large chromosomes, particularly those of the salivary glands of the larva, have made it invaluable in the study of genetics. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/F/fruitfly.html   (337 words)

Tephritidae -- a/o cat. Tephritidae is a large family of predominantly picture-winged, usually highly ornamented flies with brightly contrasting color patterns on the bodies. Except for some genera of fruit-breeding Trypetinae, the non-dacine Tephritidae breed predominantly in various tissues of living plants. The strangest association known for a "fruit fly" is that of Alloeomyia flavida from Papua New Guinea, which has been collected only in traps baited with human feces; no doubt it is a scavenger. hbs.bishopmuseum.org /aocat/tephritidae.html   (2296 words)

ScienceDaily Books : Fruit Flies (Tephritidae): Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the most destructive agricultural pests in the world, eating their way through acres and acres of citrus and other fruits at an alarming rate and forcing food and agriculture agencies to spend millions of dollars in control and management measures. But until now, the study of fruit flies has been traditionally biased towards applied aspects (e.g., management, monitoring, and mass rearing)-understandable, given the tremendous economic impact of this species.This work is the first that comprehensively addresses the study of the phylogeny and the evolution of fruit fly behavior. Fruit Flies (Tephritidae): Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior is a definitive treatment, covering all behaviors in a broad range of tephritids.This volume is divided into eight sections: www.sciencedaily.com /cgi-bin/apf4/amazon_products_feed.cgi?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=0849312752   (1711 words)
