FITNESS COSTS OF RAPID COLD-HARDENING IN CERATITIS CAPITATA
Evolution, 2011Rapid cold-hardening (RCH) is a unique form of phenotypic plasticity which confers survival advantages at low temperature. The fitness costs of RCH are generally poorly elucidated and are important to understanding the evolution of plastic physiology.

Effect of diet on lipogenesis of larvae of Ceratitis capitata
Insect Biochemistry, 1973Abstract A series of dietary experiments has been carried out with larvae of the fly Ceratitis capitata to study the adaptability of fatty acid synthetase. The fatty acid synthesis from labelled acetate was investigated in several nutritional states as free fatty acids, triglycerides, and phospholipids. A short period of fasting abruptly abolished

Yellow: A New Mutant in Ceratitis capitata
1993The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata,is a primary pest problem due to the damage caused by females to a large number of fruits, requiring a permanent control all around the world. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has been successfully employed to eradicate new introductions of the Medfly in USA and extensive areas in Mexico and Guatemala ...

cAMP signalling mechanisms with aging in the Ceratitis capitata brain
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 1997Aging has been associated with alterations in protein phosphorylation. This study was undertaken to examine eventual changes in cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity and enzyme regulatory subunit levels from the dipterous Ceratitis capitata brain with postmaturational aging and senescence.

The antibacterial immune response of the medfly, Ceratitis capitata
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1988Abstract Haemolymph withdrawn from Ceratitis capitata larvae and adult males inoculated a day earlier with Enterobacter cloacae contains potent antibacterial factors, while haemolymph from untreated controls has none. A sterile wound can also induce the antibacterial immune response, but it is augmented substantially by bacteria.

Molecular sexing in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004Molecular methods have been devised for sexing Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) individuals using minimal amounts of material from any stage of the life cycle. Molecular sexing methods are particularly valuable when material is obtained from pre-adult stages and sex identification based on morphological characters is not possible.

Stability of a Double Translocation Strain in Ceratitis capitata [PDF]
, 1993 Genetic sexing mechanisms represent important advantages for SIT programmes Therefore, one of the most important goals in the research related to this technique for the medfly has been to develop such a mechanism. At present the construction of genetic sexing systems are based on the induction of translocation that link the sexing character to the male

Sperm use in Tephritids: the case of Ceratitis capitata
2006Our current knowledge of the Ceratitis capitata genome opens the way to explore peculiar traits of its invasiveness, including its reproductive behaviour. The availability of genetic markers such as SSRs, coupled with sound statistical tests and simulated estimates, allowed us to infer that polyandry is a common event among wild medfly populations ...

Attractiveness of Three Hydrolyzed Proteins to Ceratitis capitata
1993Aerial bait sprays are commonly used in Spain for control of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Ros et al., (1987, 1988) determined which doses of hydrolyzed protein and insecticides were most efficient in attracting the Mediterranean fruit fly in these aerial treatments.
