One and the same: integrative taxonomic evidence that Bactrocera invadens (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the same species as the Oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (2015, background): “invadens have an applied focus on host use, seasonality and invasion dynamics (Mwatawala et al., 2006; Ekesi et al., 2007; Rwomushana et al., 2008; Khamis et al., 2009; De Meyer et al., 2010), temporal occurrence and comparative demographic parameters (Vayssières et al.”
