Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 517-532, April 2026.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

SEXUAL SELECTION ON MULTIVARIATE PHENOTYPES IN ANASTREPHA FRATERCULUS (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) FROM ARGENTINA

open access: yesFlorida Entomologist, 2007
Abstract Despite the interest in applying environmentally friendly control methods such as sterile insect technique (SIT) against Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), information about its biology, taxonomy, and behavior is still insufficient. To increase this information, the present study aims to evaluate the performance of wild

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 618-639, April 2026.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Evidence for positive selection in the gene fruitless in Anastrepha fruit flies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Many genes involved in the sex determining cascade have indicated signals of positive selection and rapid evolution across different species.

How Do Female Pest Tephritids Behave During Male Courtship?

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 272-284, March 2026.
In this paper, the female role during male courtship was described for the first time in fruit flies. Our findings show that females imitate some male behaviors and suggest that certain behaviors are associated with male mating success. Indeed, the Mediterranean fruit fly displays fewer behavioral units (i.e., shorter courtship sequences) than ...
