Evaluation of the effect of agroclimatic variables on the probability and timing of olive fruit fly attack

Frontiers in Plant Science
Agroclimatic variables may affect insect and plant phenology, with unpredictable effects on pest populations and crop losses. Bactrocera oleae Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a specific pest of Olea europaea plants that can cause annual economic losses ...

Spatial distribution pattern and sequential sampling plans for Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) (Dip: Tephritidae) in olive orchards

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2016
The distribution of adult and larvae Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae), a key pest of olive, was studied in olive orchards. The first objective was to analyze the dispersion of this insect on olive and the second was to develop sampling plans based

Divergent Evolutionary Pressures Shape Olfactory Sensitivity of the Maxillary Palps in Tephritidae Fruit Flies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Tephritids maxillary palps are particularly sensitive to pheromones and male lures, and these olfactory sensitivities are shaped by evolutionary forces. ABSTRACT Olfaction is a rapidly evolving sense. Given its diverse functions, from finding ecological niches to selection of mates, we hypothesized that olfaction is subjected to divergent evolutionary ...

Culturable bacteria associated with Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1: in search of nitrogen‐fixing symbionts with biotechnological potential

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1621-1640, October 2025.
Anastrepha fraterculus, a major fruit fly pest in South America, benefits from gut bacteria for nutrient assimilation and nitrogen fixation. This study examined culturable gut bacteria in A. fraterculus males from wild, lab‐reared, and lab‐colony groups, focusing on diazotrophs.
