Age structure changes and extraordinary lifespan in wild medfly populations
(2008)The main purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that major changes in age structure occur in wild populations of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) and that a substantial fraction of individuals survive to ... -
Enhanced mating competitiveness of Ceratitis capitata males following exposure to citrus compounds
(2013)Previous work has demonstrated that exposure of males of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), to the scent of sweet orange increases their mating success relative to non-exposed males. ... -
Essential oils of citrus fruit stimulate oviposition in the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2012)Female Mediterranean fruit flies (medfly) Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) perceive both qualitative and quantitative aspects of citrus fruit chemistry. However, the behavioural and biological adjustments ... -
Exceptional Longevity in the Tephritid, Ceratitis rosa, a Close Relative of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly
(2012)This study shows that the fruit fly, Ceratitis rosa (Karsch), has a significantly longer life span than the medfly, C. capitata (Wiedemann); the species used as a model organism for the demographics of insect aging. This ... -
Life table assay of field-caught mediterranean fruit flies, ceratitis capitata, reveals age bias
(2009)Though traps are used widely to sample phytophagous insects for research or management purposes, and recently in aging research, possible bias stemming from differential response of individuals of various ages to traps has ... -
Lifespan of a Ceratitis fruit fly increases with higher altitude
(2010)Variation in lifespan may be linked to geographic factors. Although latitudinal variation in lifespan has been studied for a number of species, altitude variation has received much less attention, particularly in insects. ... -
Seasonal trends in ceratitis capitata reproductive potential derived from live-caught females in Greece
(2011)Reproductive data of individual insects are extremely hard to collect under natural conditions, thus the study of research questions related to oviposition has not advanced. Patterns of oviposition are often inferred only ... -
Whole body extract of Mediterranean fruit fly males elicits high attraction in virgin females
(2008)The search for effective female attractants emanating from the host or body of fruit flies has been an area of intensive research for over three decades. In the present study, bodies of male Mediterranean fruit flies, ...
