An Apple a Day Does Not Keep the Weevils Away: Enhancing Vine Weevil Monitoring With Fruit‐Based Volatiles

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius; Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops worldwide. Despite extensive research over three decades, the development of an effective semiochemical lure to improve monitoring for this pest remains a challenge.

The pollination ecology and mouthpart morphology of a pollen‐feeding fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Diptera: Lauxaniidae) in the Australian Alpine

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Bait sprays against the European cherry fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi: Status Quo & Perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Bait spray experiments against Rhagoletis cerasi were carried out in 2005 to 2007. The main principle of this method is to use food (e.g. sugar and proteins) as baits for the flies with small amounts of insecticides, which is applied on parts of the ...

Temperature‐independent arrest in female reproduction in a tropical fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Polyphagous tropical fruit flies of the genus Bactrocera are generally assumed to undergo continuous breeding on the basis that hosts and temperature are not limiting. However, in their endemic monsoonal rainforest habitats, breeding hosts are not always available, and repeatable seasonal population depression for Bactrocera species has been ...

A role of corazonin receptor in larval-pupal transition and pupariation in the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Corazonin (Crz) is a neuropeptide hormone, but also a neuropeptide modulator that is internally released within the CNS, and it has a widespread distribution in insects with diverse physiological functions.

Injection but not ingestion of a mixed virus suspension in Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni) shifts persistent covert infection to acute pathology

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 114-124, January 2026.
Covert and persistent infections with multiple insect‐specific viruses are common in pest fruit flies and may affect pest management strategies. Our study investigated the host effects and viral loads of cripavirus and iflavirus as persistent infections in Queensland fruit fly, and after injection and ingestion of a mixed virus suspension containing ...

Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Iran: An invasion from the Middle West

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
Despite an age-old tradition of olive growing and its geographical location, Iran was apparently free of the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790) (Diptera: Tephritidae), the major worldwide olive tree pest, until the last decade.
