Title: Fast Detection Methods for Quarantine Tephritidae

This video delves into two fascinating topics: the use of Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA) to identify invasive species native to alien environments, helping scientists trace their origins and understand their ecological impact, and the development of fast detection methods for quarantine Tephritidae (fruit flies), which are critical for preventing the spread of pests that threaten agriculture and biodiversity.
