The Population Genetics of the Colonization of the Western United States by the Apple Maggot, Rhagoletis Pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae)
The apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Diptera: Tephritidae), is native to eastern North America, but has recently been reported in various parts of the western United States. Larvae of the species infest a variety of fruits, but three hosts are of special interest. Hawthorns (Crataegus) are …

Genetics and Reproductive Isolation of Rhagoletis Flies (Fruit Fly, Eclosion, Speciation, Electrophoresis, Host Selection)
The frugivorous flies of the Rhagoletis pomonella (Diptera: Tephritidae) species group have been cited as examples of sympatric speciation through divergence in host plant association. Despite the attention given to and the controversy engendered by the biology of these flies, both by applied …

Induced defenses in apple fruits: linking fruit chemistry, quality, and plant-insect-microbe interactions
… this treatment reduced emergence of the insect Rhagoletis pomonella. Thus, fruit induced defenses may be tissue-specific and subject to temporal, environmental, or genotypic variation. Overall, these chapters examined the relationship between biotic interactions and induced fruit chemistry, with …

Effects of anthropogenic change on interactions between North American tephritid flies and their biotic associates
… anthropogenic changes on tephritid fruit flies, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) and Zonosemata electa (Say), and their competitors and natural enemies: climate change (simulated through an experimentally-induced heat effect), novel agricultural host plants, and land/weed management. R. pomonella is …
