Summary
This paper outlines some of the important topics in fruit fly ecology related to basic ecological issues, ecological issues of both academic and practical interest and ecological contributions to pest management programmes. Topics covered include mechanisms of speciation, life history strategies, foraging behaviour, population regulation, bioclimatic potential, interspecific competition, host range and the importance of ecological data in the optimization of pest management procedures.
