Insect domestication causes genetic diversity loss and drives differentiation. But how fast does it happen, and can we ease it? We show #Anastrepha flies differentiate quickly in the lab with little diversity loss. WT infusion benefits young inbred lines more than old ones: doi.org/10.1111/1744...

A Embrapa realizou um estudo para mapear as regiões do Brasil com potencial risco de invasão por pragas agrícolas ainda ausentes no país, como Anastrepha curvicauda, Bactrocera dorsalis, e Lobesia botrana. #Embrapa #mapear #Anastrepha #pragas
