Bush is best known for his research on the process of speciation, [2] especially for his evidence of sympatric speciation in the apple maggot fruit fly, Rhagoletis pomonella, which shifted from using its native host, hawthorn tree, to using the domesticated apple tree in the last 150-200 years. [3] [4]
Rhagoletis pomonella, the apple maggot, may be currently undergoing sympatric or, more precisely, heteropatric (see heteropatry) speciation. The apple feeding race of this species appears to have spontaneously emerged from the hawthorn feeding race in the 1800–1850 AD time frame, after apples were first introduced into North America .
The hawthorn fly (Rhagoletis pomonella), also known as the apple maggot fly, appears to be undergoing sympatric speciation. [45] Different populations of hawthorn fly feed on different fruits. A distinct population emerged in North America in the 19th century some time after apples , a non-native species, were introduced.
This "two-stage" model is indicated in the three-spined sticklebacks [51] as well as the apple maggot fly and its apple hosts. [52] A pollinator can change preferences due to its own evolution driving selection to favor traits that align with the pollinators changed preferences. [1]: 198
