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.

The bacterial species "Pseudomonas melophthora", can be found in the apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella. [1] [2] This can be considered a form of symbiosis as, amongst other things, the bacteria has the ability to degrade insecticides and so offers a form of protection to the apple maggot.
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.

Rhagoletis mendax is a species of tephritid fruit fly known by the common name blueberry maggot. The blueberry maggot is closely related to the apple maggot ( R. pomonella ), a larger fruit fly in the same genus.
