Thermal acclimation and environment drive field dispersal patterns of adult Mediterranean fruit flies

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Ambient temperature significantly increased Mediterranean fruit fly recapture rates, demonstrating a strong effect of immediate environmental conditions on field dispersal. Female recaptures were 2.6‐fold higher in orchards containing host plants, whereas male recaptures were unaffected by host presence.

Intrinsic activity in the fly brain gates visual information during behavioral choices [PDF]

, 2010
The small insect brain is often described as an input/output system that executes reflex-like behaviors. It can also initiate neural activity and behaviors intrinsically, seen as spontaneous behaviors, different arousal states and sleep. However, less is

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Peaches: is it a problem?

Scientia Agricola
Healthy peach fruit is not considered a preferred host for Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura); however, it becomes a more preferable host when damaged. Thus, damaged peach fruit is of importance not only in terms of economic losses, but also because it ...

POTENTIAL OF TURMERIC EXTRACT AND ITS FRACTIONS TO CONTROL PEACH FRUIT FLY (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) [PDF]

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2015
ABSTRACT Potential of turmeric extract and its chemical fractions were evaluated to control the infestation of Bactrocera zonata peach fruit fly in a mortality-based bioassay. The turmeric extract (TE) was taken on Soxhelt's extraction apparatus and chemically fractioned by thin layer followed by column chromatography into 6 fractions (F1 ...F6). Fifty

Between Autonomy and Dependency: The Territorialisation of Agroecology in the Colombian Peasant Reserve Zones

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peasant movements employ a spectrum of politico‐economic strategies for territorialising agroecology, ranging from autonomy to (inter)dependency. To substantiate this argument, I draw on qualitative fieldwork and historical analysis to examine the Colombian Peasant Reserve Zone movement's strategies for territorialising agroecology at both the

New indices for measuring some quality control parameters of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) [PDF]

Arthropods, 2014
Even though the existence of interspecific competition and competitive displacement between the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) and peach fruit fly Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) in the last two decades in Egypt, Mediterranean fruit fly ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Effect of thermal acclimation on the tolerance of the peach fruit fly (Bactrocera zonata: Tephritidae) to heat and cold stress

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2023
Understanding the thermal biology of insects is of increasing importance for predicting their geographic distribution, particularly in light of current and future global temperature increases. Within the limits set by genetic makeup, thermal tolerance is affected by the physiological conditioning of individuals (e.g., through acclimation).

Pollinators in Blackcurrant Orchards: Complementary Roles of Sown and Spontaneous Flower Strips and Limited Spillover of Small Wild Bees Within Fields

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sowing flower strips and preserving spontaneous flowers are commonly recommended to support pollinators in agricultural landscapes. In nine blackcurrant orchards, these resources played complementary roles: the abundance of small and large wild bees was positively associated with spontaneous flowers, whereas hoverfly abundance was positively associated
