Daily rhythms, such as mating times, play a key role in shaping insect behavior and are pivotal in prezygotic reproductive isolation and speciation. To investigate whether mating behavior follows a daily rhythm under natural light–dark cycles and controlled temperature conditions, we examined the mating times of two related agricultural pest species ...

Toxicity of fenthion to Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) (Diptera:Tephritidae): dose response analysis [PDF]
Three toxicological bioassays were performed in two F1 south Brazilian field populations of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.). Lethal doses of fenthion (50% and 90%) were estimated in two bioassays, with oral administration, and with residual contact bioassay.

Bioecologia e controle da mosca-das-frutas sul-americana Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) na cultura da videira. [PDF]
Dentre os insetos que danificam as bagas da videira, a mosca-das-frutas sul-americana é a que apresenta maior importância no sul do Brasil. A espécie se destaca por ser uma das mais polífagas do gênero (registro em 67 espécies de plantas de 18 famílias ...

Effect of host plant chemistry on genetic differentiation and reduction of gene flow among Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) populations exploiting sympatric, synchronic hosts [PDF]
Herbivore host specialization includes changes in behaviour, driven by locally-induced adaptations to specific plants. These adaptations often result in sexual isolation that can be gauged through detection of reduced gene flow between host associated ...

Genetic consequences of domestication and refreshment on colonies of the South American fruit fly
Abstract For almost a decade, natural populations of the South American fruit fly have been targeted for control through Sterile Insect Technique projects. To ensure a sustainable supply of competitive sterile flies for this approach, it is essential to understand the effects of domestication when strains of this pest are initially brought into the ...

Quimioesterilización de Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) con un regulador del crecimiento de insectos [PDF]
Anastrepha fraterculus is a fruit pest of economic importance in South America and northwestern Argentina. Currently, it is controlled with toxic baits but there is a demand for environmentally acceptable methodologies.

Isolation Index (ISI) estimates were obtained from mating compatibility tests between flies of the different laboratory strains from CENA/USP and wild populations (Vacaria‐WV; and Pelotas‐WP) from southern Brazil. Abstract In cases where a pest that is target of a Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) campaign is a member of a cryptic species complex, it is ...

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...
