Description: "This comprehensive work is the first to address the study of fruit fly phylogeny and the evolution of tephritid behavior. An international group of scientists review the current state of knowledge and include considerable new findings on various aspects of fruit fly behavior, phylogeny, and related subjects. In the past, the topics of phylogeny and evolution of behavior were barely addressed, and when so, often superficially. Fruit Flies (Tephritidae): Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior is a definitive treatment, covering all behaviors in a broad range of tephritids."--Jacket.
