Fruit Flies (Tephritidae)

Fruit Flies (Tephritidae): Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior is a definitive treatment, covering all behaviors in a broad range of tephritids. Divided into eight sections and including a glossary of terminology, this book contains an overview of the phylogeny of the Tephritoidea, a review of the behaviors exhibited by flies in the families most closely related to the Tephritidae, and a historical review of studies on tephritid behavior. It also covers the phylogeny and behavior of important groups of tephritids and deals with specific topics, such as the evolution of feeding, mating and oviposition behavior, but on a broader scale than in previous chapters.
