Duration (days) of the larval stage of seven tephritid species reared on 22 different host fruits occurring in La Reunion. Values are means ± SE. Host fruits belonging to the Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae families are in green and red, respectively. Host fruits are ordered by coordinate of the first axis of the CCA analyses (see Materials and Methods).
