Oecologia 149:656-67. 2006..Furthermore, genetic diversity was not associated with diapause variation. Therefore, multiple introductions and a "general-purpose genotype" appear to have facilitated the fly's invasion into California...
Invasive phytophagous pests arising through a recent tropical evolutionary radiation: the Bactrocera dorsalis complex of fruit fliesAnthony R Clarke
School of Natural Resource Sciences, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Qld 4001, Australia
Annu Rev Entomol 50:293-319. 2005..Although they have been documented as invaders, relatively little work has been done on the invasion biology of the complex and this is an area warranting further work...
