HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Psytallia cosyrae et al. from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil have published the article: Differential immune responses in new and old fruit y-parasitoid associations: Implications for their management, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors investigated whether melanotic encapsulation responses of B. dorsalis and C. cosyra varied when these tephritid fruit flies are exposed to D. longicaudata and P. cosyrae.
