Behavioral Ecology of an Invasive Species: Habitat and Mate Preference(s) in Drosophila Suzukii [PDF]

, 2017
The invasive Spotted-Wing fruit fly, Drosophila suzukii, has inflicted substantial economic losses to the soft-fruit agriculture industry worldwide due to the ability of females in this species to use a large, serrated ovipositor to cut the fruit’s skin ...

Molecular characterization of transformer, transformer‐2, and doublesex genes in the carambola fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae, revealing potential for genetic pest management

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Globalization and climate change may be driving the spread of the quarantine fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae, highlighting the need for ecofriendly control methods like the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which relies on releasing sterile males to reduce wild populations.

Spatial autocorrelation in Drosophilidae (Diptera) assemblages sampled in forest and pasture areas of the Cerrado Biome [PDF]

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia
Spatial autocorrelation reflects the non-independence of observation sites due to their physical proximity. Evaluating this factor in a sampling design is essential to avoid pseudoreplication.

Sequence and expression analysis of potential spermatogenesis‐specific gene cognates in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

African Fig Fly (Diptera: Drosophilidae): Biology, Expansion of Geographic Range, and Its Potential Status as a Soft Fruit Pest

Journal of Integrated Pest Management, 2019
African fig fly, Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is originally from the Afrotropics but has been expanding its geographical range globally, including the United States. It was first reported in Virginia northward in 2012.

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Spotted Wing Drosophila in Florida Berry Culture

EDIS, 2016
Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is an invasive pest that was introduced into Florida in 2009. Spotted wing drosophila survives well under Florida’s climatic conditions.

The Drosophilidae (Diptera) of Estonia

Entomologica Fennica, 2006
Until recently, no published records on drosophilids from the Baltic countries existed, except for an unpublished species list for Estonia. We made two collecting trips through the three Baltic countries in the summer of 2000. The first trip was made in early summer to get spring species and the second in late August to get the fungivorous species.

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...
