Effects of diet composition on the life-history traits of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Nutrient acquisition at the larval stage has significant impacts on the development, body weight, and fecundity of fruit flies. In this study, we examined the effects of diet composition on the life-history traits of the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae).
