Time-course analysis of Drosophila suzukii interaction with endoparasitoid wasps evidences a delayed encapsulation response compared to D. melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Drosophila suzukii (the spotted-wing Drosophila) appears to be unsuitable for the development of most Drosophila larval endoparasitoids, be they sympatric or not.

Evolutionary Insights into Taste Perception of the Invasive Pest Drosophila suzukii
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Chemosensory perception allows insects to interact with the environment by perceiving odorant or tastant molecules; genes encoding chemoreceptors are the molecular interface between the environment and the insect, and play a central role in mediating its

Invasive Drosophila suzukii outnumbers native controphics and causes substantial damage to fruits of forest plants [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 Impacts of biological invasions are diverse and can have far-reaching consequences for ecosystems. The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a major invasive pest of fruits, which negatively affects fruit and wine production. However, little is

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii, Matsumara) is a rapidly spreading global pest of soft and stone fruit production. Due to the similarity of many of its life stages to other cosmopolitan drosophilids, surveillance for this pest is ...
