Effects of laboratory colonization on Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera, Tephritidae) mating behaviour: 'what a difference a year makes' [PDF]

, 2015
Laboratory-reared insects are widely known to have significantly reduced genetic diversity in comparison to wild populations; however, subtle behavioural changes between laboratory-adapted and wild or ‘wildish’ (i.e., within one or very few generations ...

Friend or Foe: Symbiotic Bacteria in Bactrocera dorsalis–Parasitoid Associations

Biology, 2023
Parasitoids are promising biocontrol agents of the devastating fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis. However, parasitoid performance is a function of several factors, including host-associated symbiotic bacteria. Providencia alcalifaciens, Citrobacter freundii, and Lactococcus lactis are among the symbiotic bacteria commonly associated with B.

Preservation technique to identify Bactrocera dorsalis complex (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on image analysis

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2022
Fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)) are insect pests of many fruits and vegetables. Yield losses due to this pest can reach 100%, and many may be unaware that fruit flies are the trigger for several disease attacks on crops such as fungi and ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Synergistic attraction: Development and field evaluation of a multicomponent lure for Zeugodacus cucurbitae based on host‐plant volatiles and gut bacterium‐derived volatiles

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The newly developed ternary blend was validated in field trials and proved highly effective in attracting both male and female Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Abstract BACKGROUND Zeugodacus cucurbitae is a global quarantine pest. Management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, which impose substantial environmental burdens. Male‐specific lures [

Effects of pupal hypoxia duration and holding temperature on quality control parameters of sterile Queensland fruit fly

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Queensland fruit fly pupae tolerate hypoxia up to 2 days without compromising quality. Prolonged hypoxia, especially at 25 °C, reduces emergence and flight ability. Storage at 18 °C is recommended. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique is used to eradicate outbreaks of Queensland fruit fly (Q‐fly) Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in fruit‐fly ...
