Effect of dietary components on larval life history characteristics in the medfly (Ceratitis capitata: Diptera, Tephritidae)

The ability to respond to heterogenous nutritional resources is an important factor in the adaptive radiation of insects such as the highly polyphagous Medfly. Here we examined the breadth of the Medfly's capacity to respond to different developmental conditions, by experimentally altering diet...
