Oviposition preference and larval performance in Ceratitis capitata (Díptera, Tephritidae)

Oviposition preference and larval performance in Ceratitis capitata (Díptera, Tephritidae)

Experiments concerning oviposition preference were carried out on Ceratitis capitata to determine whether females are able to preferentially oviposit on natural hosts in which the larvae develop better. The results indicated that the females do not preferentially oviposit on hosts of better nutritive value for the larvae.
