Reproductive transcriptomes of Neotropical fruit fly Tephritids, Anastrepha obliqua and Anastrepha fraterculus.
Several species of Neotropical fruit flies of the Anastrepha genus are considered as agricultural pests, because of the damage they cause to a variety of fleshy fruits. Anastrepha obliqua and Anastrepha fraterculus are closely related species that diverged with evidence of introgression. We sequenced the transcriptomes from reproductive tissues of virgin males and females of these two species, which allowed us to investigate patterns of evolution of sex-biased genes from these two species.
