Separating two tightly linked species-defining phenotypes in Bactrocera with hybrid recombinant analysis

Separating two tightly linked species-defining phenotypes in Bactrocera with hybrid recombinant analysis

Abstract Background Bactrocera tryoni and Bactrocera neohumeralis mate asynchronously; the former mates exclusively around dusk while the latter mates during the day. The two species also differ in the colour of the post-pronotal lobe (callus), which is predominantly yellow in B. tryoni and brown in...
