Anastrepha species their host plants and parasitoids |
||||
Significant advances in studies on genus Anastrepha were done in Brazil since 1970's, mainly due to a better understanding of the taxonomic knowledge of the species. This knowledge was pivotal to capacity building of many researchers, graduate students and technicians that allowed the establishment of many working groups which contribute to increase the knowledge on the Anastrepha fruit fly diversity in Brazil. Thus, new records of Anastrepha species, host plants and parasitoids have been frequently found out and any effort to catalogue these data on a printed version publication becomes outdated rapidly. Therefore, in order to develop a dynamic catalogue for the Anastrepha species in Brazil which could be promptly updated, this online web-based database was implemented. Citing this publication
