Anastrepha grandis (South American cucurbit fruit fly).

2021
Abstract A. grandis is a pest of various cultivated species of Cucurbitaceae, especially pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.), squash (Cucurbita spp.) and melon [Cucumis melo]. It occurs in the Andean countries, Paraguay, southern Brazil, and northern Argentina. It has been intercepted at ports in the USA, indicating its potential for spread via

Phylogeographic studies on natural populations of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Genetica, 2007
Anastrepha fraterculus is an important pest of commercial fruits in South America. The variability observed for morphological and behavioural traits as well as genetic markers suggests that A. fraterculus represents a complex of synmorphic species rather than a single biological species.

Host‐marking pheromone of the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus and cross‐recognition by the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, 2022
AbstractFollowing oviposition, females of many fruit flies deposit on the fruit surface a host‐marking pheromone (HMP) that can deter oviposition by conspecifics and heterospecifics, thereby minimizing overexploitation of hosts. We describe the oviposition behaviour of two economically important fruit flies (Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis ...

Male seminal fluid allocation according to socio-sexual context in the South American fruit fly

Journal of Comparative Physiology A
During copulation male insects transfer sperm and seminal fluids, including accessory gland proteins (Acps) to females, produced in the accessory glands (AGs). These Acps influence female behavior and physiology, inhibiting sexual receptivity, promoting ovulation and/or oviposition.

Karyotypic and Molecular Identification of Laboratory Stocks of the South American Fruit Fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2003
The taxonomic status of the tephritid pest Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) is a controversial subject, mainly because of misinterpretation of the observed genetic variation. In this work, the different karyotypes and DNA polymorphism of a geographically defined population from Northeastern Argentina were studied, using derived stocks maintained in the ...

High dilution ofStaphysagriaand fruit fly biotherapic preparations to manage South American fruit fly,Anastrepha fraterculus,in organic peach orchards

Biological Agriculture & Horticulture, 2012
The peach, Prunus persica, is an important economic crop in southern Brazil, where family farms are predominantly small. The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus is a limiting factor to increased production in orchard crops. Increased organic production in Brazil has stimulated research to find ecological based pest management.

Reproductive behaviour of the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae): laboratory and field studies

Physiological Entomology, 1994
Abstract. The mate choice, courtship and oviposition behaviour of laboratory‐reared and field‐collected Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) were compared. In laboratory cultures in Southampton the duration of male calling activity in small leks increased gradually from 1‐2h at ...
