1. In the Population Genetics of  the olive fruit  fly using  enzymatic

 polymorphisms and molecular techniques in natural and laboratory populations, in an effort to answer some critical evolutionary questions and to organize  a biological control system for the insect.

• In the study of the mechanisms that confer and maintain the resistance of the olive fruit fly to insecticides. 

• In the study of the relationship between the olive fruit fly and the

           symbiotic bacterium Candidatus Erwinia dacicola, aimed at the

           biological control of the insect.
