Three years field trials to assess the effect of kaolin made particles and copper on olive-fruit fly (B.oleae Gmelin) infestations in Sicily [PDF]

, 2006
In most countries of Mediterranean Basin, Bactrocera oleae (Gmel), the olive fruit fly, is the key pest insect on olives. In Sicily this pest causes losses of fruits and a poor quality olive oil.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Molecular interactions between the olive and the fruit fly Bactrocera oleae [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2012
Abstract Background The fruit fly Bactrocera oleae is the primary biotic stressor of cultivated olives, causing direct and indirect damages that significantly reduce both the yield and the quality of olive oil. To study the olive-B.

Activism as a long durée journey: Teachers against the Chilean neoliberal education model

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, I use the idea of purposes of education, particularly subjectification, and the concept of love to explore long‐term teacher activism in Chile. ‘Long‐term activism’ is used to describe an ongoing struggle rather than activism confined to specific moments.

Tests on the effectiveness of kaolin and copper hydroxide in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) [PDF]

, 2007
Repellent and antiovipositional products in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) find a great interest in organic farming, because of the lack of effective products able to kill the olive fly preimmaginal stages.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Influence of olive fruit fly attack on quality and composition of ‘Rosinjola’ virgin olive oil

Acta Horticulturae, 2018
In this work the influence of olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)) attack on the quality of ´Rosinjola’ cv. virgin olive oil (free fatty acids, peroxide value, specific extinction on 232 and 270 nm, and sensory evaluation) as well as on the fatty acid and volatile composition was investigated.
