The (Tephritid Workers Database ) is a web-based database for sharing information on tephritid fruit flies. Because these species are one of the most economically important group of insect species that threaten fruit and vegetable production and trade worldwide, a tremendous amount of information is made available each year: new technologies developed, new information on their biology and ecology; new control methods made available, new species identified, new outbreaks recorded and new operational control programmes launched. The TWD allows workers to keep up-to-date on the most recent developments and provides an easily accessible and always available resource. ==History== A group of scientists involved in tephritid fruit fly research and management launched the Tephritid Workers Database on May 2004, 〔BAKRI, A., HENDRICHS J., ENKERLIN W., CAYOL J.P., ROBINSON A., FERRIS I. (2004). The Tephritid Workers Database (www.tephritid.org); In: Proceedings of the 5th Meeting of the Working Group on Fruit Flies of the Western Hemisphere, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, May 16–21, 2004. USDA and University of Florida〕 with the support of the (Insect Pest Control Section ) of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/International Atomic Energy Agency programme. The Tephritid Workers Database is self-maintained by the participants and its development depends on the active contribution of the members. The TWD database has now more than 1000 members from more than 100 countries and is sponsoring or hosting websites of other regional fruit fly working groups:〔(TWD Official website )〕 *(The Tephritid Workers of Europe Africa and the Middle East (TEAM) ) *(The Tephritid Workers of the Western Hemisphere (TWWH) ) *(The Tephritid Workers of Asia Australia and Oceania (TAAO) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tephritid Workers Database」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
