Evolutionary Biology
The apple maggot fly (Rhagoletis pomonella) is a species of fruit fly that lays its eggs in apples, leading to significant agricultural damage. This insect is a classic example of sympatric speciation, as it evolved into two distinct forms based on host plant preferences, contributing to ecological divergence within overlapping populations.
