Abstract
Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental fruit fly) and Bactrocera zonata (peach fruit fly) are economically important pests of fruits and vegetables. In the current study, the life history traits of B. dorsalis and B. zonata were investigated under cohabitation. The experiment consisted of three treatments: B. dorsalis alone, B. zonata alone, and B. zonata in a shared habitat with B. dorsalis. Data showed that cohabitation had a negative impact on the life history traits of B. dorsalis and a positive impact on the life stages of B. zonata. Significantly more landings, ovipositions, pupal recovery, and adult longevity were observed in co-habited B. zonata, while no difference in these parameters was observed in co-habited B. dorsalis, except for a decrease in adult longevity.

Papers in any of the following fields will be considered:
-systematics-
ecology-
physiology-
biochemistry-
pest control-
embryology-
genetics-
cell and molecular biology-
medical entomology-
apiculture and sericulture.
The Journal publishes research papers and invited reviews.
