Augmentative Biological Control Using Parasitoids for Fruit Fly Management in Brazil [PDF]

Insects, 2012
The history of classical biological control of fruit flies in Brazil includes two reported attempts in the past 70 years. The first occurred in 1937 when an African species of parasitoid larvae (Tetrastichus giffardianus) was introduced to control the ...

Behavioral responses of a parasitoid fly to rapidly evolving host signals. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
AbstractAnimals eavesdrop on signals and cues generated by prey, predators, hosts, parasites, competing species, and conspecifics, and the conspicuousness of sexual signals makes them particularly susceptible. Yet, when sexual signals evolve, most attention is paid to impacts on intended receivers (potential mates) rather than fitness consequences for ...

Molecular biogeography and host relations of a parasitoid fly. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
Abstract Successful geographic range expansion by parasites and parasitoids may also require host range expansion. Thus, the evolutionary advantages of host specialization may trade off against the ability to exploit new host species encountered in new geographic regions.

Exploration for olive fruit fly parasitoids across Africa reveals regional distributions and dominance of closely associated parasitoids [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Abstract The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae , has been a key pest of olives in Europe and North America. We conducted the largest exploration for parasitoids associated with the fly across Sub-Saharan Africa (Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa) including some of the fly’s ...

Parasitoid venom induces metabolic cascades in fly hosts [PDF]

Metabolomics, 2014
Parasitoid wasps inject insect hosts with a cocktail of venoms to manipulate the physiology, development, and immunity of the hosts and to promote development of the parasitoid offspring. The jewel wasp Nasonia vitripennis is a model parasitoid with at least 79 venom proteins. We conducted a high-throughput analysis of Nasonia venom effects on temporal

Packing of Fruit Fly Parasitoids for Augmentative Releases [PDF]

Insects, 2012
The successful application of Augmentative Biological Control (ABC) to control pest fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) confronts two fundamental requirements: (1) the establishment of efficient mass rearing procedures for the species to be released, and (2) the development of methodologies for the packing and release of parasitoids that permit a ...

Location of Host and Host Habitat by Fruit Fly Parasitoids [PDF]

Insects, 2012
Augmentative releases of parasitoids may be a useful tool for the area-wide management of tephritid pests. The latter are parasitized by many wasp species, though only a few of them are relevant for augmentative biocontrol purposes. To date, nearly all the actual or potential biocontrol agents for such programs are egg or larval Opiinae parasitoids ...

A world review of the bristle fly parasitoids of webspinners

BMC Zoology, 2022
Abstract Background Dipteran parasitoids of Embioptera (webspinners) are few and extremely rare but known from all biogeographical regions except Australasia/Oceania. All belong to the fly family Tachinidae, a hyperdiverse and widespread clade of parasitoids attacking a variety of arthropod orders.

Identification of fruit fly (Tephritidae) pupae parasitized by hymenoptera parasitoids

Journal of Applied Entomology, 2022
AbstractOne of the major problems in orchards is the presence of Tephritidae fly maggots, especially in Mirtaceae species. Various biological control tools include the use of Hymenoptera parasitoids, which naturally control fly populations. However, identification of the host species of parasitoids is challenging, because only the puparium remains ...
