Dynamics of genetic variability in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) during adaptation to laboratory rearing conditions [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Anastrepha fraterculus is one of the most important fruit fly plagues in the American continent and only chemical control is applied in the field to diminish its population densities.

Optimization and Evaluation of the bestRAD Sequencing Approach: Towards Ascertainment of the Invasion Routes of the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The bestRAD technique is a reduced genome representation approach with high‐capacity sample multiplexing and physical isolation of biotin‐labelled target DNA fragments using streptavidin beads, which should reduce total cost and genotyping errors. While we here formalise the relevance of this approach within the HTS landscape, our foremost aim

Bactrocera oleae Control and Smart Farming Technologies for Olive Orchards in the Context of Optimal Olive Oil Quality: A Review

Agronomy
Olive oil production is among the most significant pillars of crop production, especially in the Mediterranean region. The management risks undertaken throughout the olive oil production chain can be minimized using smart tools and applications.

Semi‐tilling maintains the arthropod food web structure but decreases biological pest control in olive groves

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 3, Page 345-355, November 2025.
Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

Spatial Interpolation in Applied Insect Ecology: A Review, Including Guidelines and Datasets for Practical Use

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1319-1334, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

Suppression of Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) pupae by soil arthropods in the olive grove [PDF]

, 2016
Soil arthropods can provide ecosystem services, such as biological control of crop pests that spend part of their life cycle in the soil. This is the case of Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), one of the most important pests of olives.

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 ...

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 ...
