Molecules, 2022 The spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is one of the main invasive pests of small fruits in the world. Thus, 19 essential oils (EOs) were selected to analyze the effects through toxicity and repellency on oviposition and D. suzukii adults.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Effective Cryopreservation of Drosophila suzukii Embryos
, 2023 Faculty Mentor: Michael SmanskiSpotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is an insect pest responsible for global crop losses.1 Genetic engineering promises pest control solutions, but is challenged by loss of transgenic elements to meiotic ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.This study investigates the laboratory biology and morphology of the parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae, which targets Drosophila flies, including the invasive Drosophila suzukii. Key findings include a detailed description of the parasitoid's egg, three larval instars, and pupal stage, as well as unique behaviors such as siblicide and encapsulation in ...

A microbial perspective of Drosophila suzukii
, 2022 The fruit fly Drosophila suzukii infests intact, ripening soft fruits using the serrated ovipositor. Originally from Asia, this fly has successfully invaded several parts of America and Europe in the last decade, resulting in direct economic losses in the horticultural sector. Microbes are important in a pest’s life history.

Spirotetramat reduces fitness of the spotted‐wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, 2023 AbstractWith climate change, the spotted‐wing Drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii) invades a great number of fruit production regions worldwide. A plethora of insecticides are being applied for management of this pest. As expected, SWD develops resistance against some potent insecticides or is rather insensitive to some others.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Temperature is an important factor to determine the activity of insects. We tested the performance of the non‐native larval parasitoid Leptopilina japonica (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) under realistic climatic conditions to improve understanding about its ongoing spread and seasonal abundance.
