“…It is expected that when rearing conditions change (e.g. host plant), organisms and populations adapt to the new conditions (Clarke 1998;Benítez et al 2014a;Pieterse et al 2017). Similar results have been reported using GM methods for other invasive species (e.g.…”

The invasive alien fruit pest Drosophila suzukii, (Matsumura 1931) causes economic loss in soft‐skinned fruit production across Europe. After its first detection in 2008, the species has successfully expanded to a wide geographic area and invaded new host plants in a relatively short period of time. The aim of the present study was to analyze the connection between food preferences as host specialization and the morphology of D. suzukii. Population morphological variation in wings was investigated in two different host fruits (grape and strawberry) in which economic damage has been recorded. The geometric morphometric results revealed two noticeable wing shape morphotypes in D. suzukii (i.e. vein configuration) between the grape and strawberry fruits. Flies reared in grapes had wider wings, whereas flies grown in strawberries had more narrow wings. These differences in morphotype could be explained by the effects of wing aerodynamics, which affect the strength of the wings in flight. This, in turn, can lead to better dispersion within the associated fruit host. These results confirm that this extremely invasive species, found worldwide, is successful at spreading in part because of its potential to adapt rapidly under different rearing conditions. Therefore, adaptive variations in the wing shape of D. suzukii can be used to differentiate populations based on food preference (e.g. soft fruits) and can serve as an additional tool for detecting different bioecological types of D. suzukii.

“…The previous geometric morphometric studies showed that wing shapes differ between taxonomic groups and can be used for insect identification (Henry et al, 2010;Schutze et al, 2012). In accordance with geometric morphometric, our finding is in line with the observations of Khamis et al (2012) and Pieterse et al (2017) who found that points in junction of vein R4+5 and r-m crossvein and also junction of vein M and dm-cu influenced the landmark shifts in classifying Bactrocera and Ceratitis species. This present study provided conclusive evidence that clarified the differences of geometrical shapes in discriminating taxa for a quick diagnostic character of wing shape.…”

“…The quality and amount of larval food β source affect larval growth rate, which in turn determines larval and adult size (Davidowitz & Nijhout, 2004). The different host plants influenced wing size of B. dorsalis, Ceratitis capitata (Pieterse et al, 2017), Drosophila gouveai and D. antonietae (Soto et al, 2010). The nutritional approach studied by Sentinella et al (2013) revealed that the increasing body size of Telostylinus angusticollis (Diptera: Neriidae) was affected by carbohydrate in larval diet.…”

The potency of angle measurement and comparison of vein lengths in distinguishing Bactrocera species complexes. One of the most conspicuous features of Bactrocera fruit flies is their wing, which can be elaborated for identification. The distinctive wing patterns are used to separate species and classify species complexes. The wing shape can be used as a potential discriminator between closely related taxa. To develop wing applications in taxonomy, in this study, the degree measure of angles and the comparisons of vein lengths were investigated quantitatively to distinguish among important pest quarantine species of the Bactrocera dorsalis complex: B. dorsalis and B. carambolae; the B. frauenfeldi complex: B. frauenfeldi and B. albistrigata; and a species belonging to subgenus Zeugodacus, B. cucurbitae. The result showed that species complexes were clustered into significantly different groups based on the degree measure of cell br and the comparison between r-m and dm-cu cross-vein length. This conclusive evidence was supported by phylogenetic analysis using COI gene. This present result indicated that the cell br angle measure and the comparison between r-m and dm-cu vein length could be applied to distinguish species complexes in genus Bactrocera.

“…Despite the potential pitfalls of using P ST as an approximation of Q ST (Pujol et al, 2008), the differences in P ST estimates among different quantitative traits also support the hypothesis that wing traits might be a response to environmental challenges yielding different outcomes in different fruits. The effects of the host on wing morphology have been recorded in cactophylic species of Drosophila (Robertson, 1987;Soto et al, 2010) as well as in several tephritid species (Navarro-Campos et al, 2011;Gómez Cendra et al, 2016;Pieterse et al, 2017). There is evidence in many insects than smaller sizes are associated with lowerquality diets (Danthanarayana, 1976;Chapman, 1998).…”

Along this distribution, important morphological, genetic, and behavioural differences have been recorded, supporting the occurrence of at least eight different biological entities (Hernández-Ortiz et al., 2015) considered synmorphic species (Hernández-Ortiz et al., 2004; Cladera et al., 2014; Hendrichs et al., 2015; Vaníčková et al., 2015). In particular, the variation within the complex refers to specifi c host exploitation (Rocha & Selivon, 2004;
