Synergistic attraction: Development and field evaluation of a multicomponent lure for Zeugodacus cucurbitae based on host‐plant volatiles and gut bacterium‐derived volatiles

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6919-6930, July 2026.
The newly developed ternary blend was validated in field trials and proved highly effective in attracting both male and female Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Abstract BACKGROUND Zeugodacus cucurbitae is a global quarantine pest. Management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, which impose substantial environmental burdens. Male‐specific lures [

Pseudoparasitism by Spalangia cameroni (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) of pupae of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae): Frequency and implications

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
The effectiveness of natural enemies in controlling pests may be determined by many traits linked to their ability to regulate the density of their prey. In this respect, the phenomenon of pseudoparasitism, in which female parasitoids reject a host after

Photoperiod‐Regulated Thermal Tolerance of the Non‐Diapausing Insect Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 725-735, July 2026.
Developmental photoperiodic exposure (photoacclimation) from egg to adult emergence alters thermal tolerance in Ceratitis capitata. Flies reared under contrasting photoperiods (0:24, 8:16, 14:10, and 24:0 L:D) showed significant shifts in both CTmin and CTmax, whereas adult‐only photoacclimation affected CTmax but not CTmin.

Responses of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Protein Bait Applied at Different Densities

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 736-742, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The effectiveness of odour‐based lures for insects is related to their active space, the air volume around an odour source in which an insect will detect and move towards it. This principle applies to protein baits laced with toxicants that are used as either sprays or stations to suppress pest fruit fly populations.

Genetic variation in the invasive avian parasite, Philornis downsi (Diptera, Muscidae) on the Galapagos archipelago [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Understanding the dispersal and genetic structure of invasive insects across islands is important for designing management plans that are appropriate at spatial and temporal scales.

Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5184-5194, June 2026.
Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Biology of Bactrocera carambolae (Diptera: Tephritidae) on four hosts

Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2019
Bactrocera carambolae is a quarantine pest found in Brazil, restricted to the states of Amapa, Para and Roraima. This fruit fly can potentially cause extensive socioeconomic and environmental damage in the country, if it disperse into areas where fruit ...
