Reproductive behavior of fruit flies: courtship, mating, and oviposition

Many species of the Tephritidae family are invasive and cause huge damage to agriculture and horticulture, owing to their reproductive characteristics. In this review, we have summarized the existing studies on the reproductive behavior of Tephritidae, particularly those regarding the genes and exte...

Description
Summary:Many species of the Tephritidae family are invasive and cause huge damage to agriculture and horticulture, owing to their reproductive characteristics. In this review, we have summarized the existing studies on the reproductive behavior of Tephritidae, particularly those regarding the genes and external factors that are associated with courtship, mating, and oviposition. Furthermore, we outline the issues that still need to be addressed in fruit fly reproduction research. The review highlights the implications for understanding the reproductive behavior of fruit flies and discusses methods for their integrated management and biological control. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry. This review has summarized the existing studies on the reproductive behavior of Tephritidae, particularly regarding the genes and external factors that are associated with courtship, mating, and oviposition. And this review makes a significant contribution to the integrated control of fruit flies.
