e2“Our results confirmed the generalist character of B . dorsalis , with the infestation of 52 out of 112 of the fruit species collected in the field”
e5“In contrast, the coexistence of B . zonata with B . dorsalis seems to be compromised because both species have similar ecological requirements”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Bactrocera dorsalis infested 52 of 112 fruit species collected in the field.
- Association After the B. dorsalis invasion, the host range and spatial distribution of established tephritids shifted.
- Association The host range of specialist species that share only a few host species with B. dorsalis did not change significantly.
- Association The diversity or proportion of host range and climatic niches shifted significantly for the generalist species Bactrocera zonata and Ceratitis quilicii.
- Mechanism The results provide evidence of competitive displacement of other established species induced by B. dorsalis.
- Mechanism Coexistence of B. dorsalis and generalist Ceratitis species seems possible because they respond differently to climatic conditions or can exploit other host fruit species.
