Article Synopsis
- Anastrepha obliqua, the West Indian fruit fly, is a major agricultural pest affecting over 60 plant species across a range from northern Mexico to southern Brazil, including the Caribbean.
- Molecular analysis of mitochondrial DNA from 153 specimens in various Brazilian biomes revealed weak genetic structure among the populations, suggesting a close genetic relationship with previously studied Caribbean populations.
- The study proposes a historical migration pattern from west to east in Brazil, explaining the high genetic diversity in the Amazon Forest compared to lower diversity in other regions.
