remarks: 1) Behavioral Ecology of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) and their Parasitoids (in particular sexual, oviposition and foraging behavior).
2) Chemical Ecology (responses of fruit flies and their parasitoids to chemical and visual stimuli and to host marking pheromones).
3) Population Ecology (biotic mortality factors, population fluctuations and dynamics, genetic characterization of populations at micro- and macrogeographic levels).
4) Biorational Mechanisms of Fruit Fly Management (use of native parasitoids and predators, habitat manipulation and use of trap crops, use of plant hormones to enhance innate resistance in fruit to fly attack, use of synthetic host marking pheromones).
