A shift in the paradigm? A male-specific lactone increases the response of both sexes of the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae to the food lure ammonium bicarbonate

Journal of Pest Science, 2023
The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a key pest species of wild and cultivated olive trees worldwide. Contrarily to most tephritid flies, in which males release the sex pheromone, in B.

Evaluation of the Dual Impact of Nanotechnologies on Health and Environment Through Alternative Bridging Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how alternative invertebrate and small‐vertebrate models advance the evaluation of nanomaterials across medicine and environmental science. By bridging cellular and organismal levels, these models enable integrated assessment of toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic performance.

A proximodistal gradient in bone structure and mechanics in the wings of Seba's short‐tailed bat, Carollia perspicillata

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Bats possess the remarkable ability to fly, and with this, distinctive wing bone properties. We investigated the structural, mechanical, and compositional properties of the humerus, radius, metacarpals, and proximal and middle phalanges of Carollia perspicillata, an approximately 15 g fruit‐eating bat native to the Neotropics.

Aromatized to find mates: α-pinene aroma boosts the mating success of adult olive fruit flies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Contrary to other Tephritidae, female but also male olive flies, Bactrocera oleae release pheromones during their sexual communication. Alpha-pinene, a common plant volatile found in high amounts in unripe olive fruit and leaves has been detected as one ...

Developing Predictive Models under Controlled Conditions for the Selection of New Genotypes That Are Less Susceptible to Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) in Table Olive (Olea europaea L.) Breeding Programs

Agronomy, 2023
Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), the olive fly, represent an important biotic factor in olive groves (Olea europaea L.) causing significant production losses.

Benchmarking of computer vision methods for energy-efficient high-accuracy olive fly detection on edge devices

Multimedia tools and applications
The automation of insect pest control activities implies the use of classifiers to monitor the temporal and spatial evolution of the population using computer vision algorithms. In this regard, the popularisation of supervised learning methods represents

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.

A contribution to the knowledge of Bactrocera oleae (GMEL) in Tras-os-Montes region (northeastern Portugal): phenology, losses and control [PDF]

, 1999
Severe damage is caused by the olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Gmel)) in the Trás-osMontes region. In order to develop a control strategy, two olive groves for oil production ("Cobrançosa" and "Verdeal") and one for table olive ("Negrinha de Freixo") were

Anosmic flies: what Orco silencing does to olive fruit flies

BMC Genetics, 2020
Background The olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) is the most destructive pest of the olive cultivation worldwide causing significant production losses and olive fruit impoverishment, as its larvae feed exclusively on the olive fruit.

Chemical cues involved in the host foraging behavior of Psyttalia concolor wasps to locate the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Foraging parasitoids rely on infochemicals, derived from the habitat, host plant and/or host insect itself. Here, we studied the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), a major pest in olive agroecosystem and its larval ...
