The impact of fruit fly gut bacteria on the rearing of the parasitic wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(2020)Area-wide integrated pest management strategies against tephritid fruit flies include the release of fruit fly parasitic wasps in the target area. Mass rearing of parasitic wasps is essential for the efficient application ... -
Insecticide resistance in Tephritid flies
(2011)Tephritid flies attack a large variety of fruits, which constitute highly-priced commodities in many countries. Insecticides have been used extensively for their control. Although resistance development in fruit flies has ... -
Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers from the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata: cross-species amplification in other Tephritidae species reveals a varying degree of transferability
(2009)The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, is a pest of major economic importance and has become a model for the development of SIT control programs for insect pests. Significant information has been accumulated on ... -
Isolation, annotation and applications of expressed sequence tags from the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae
(2011)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the major pest of the olive tree. Despite its importance, very little genetic and molecular knowledge is available. The present study is a first attempt to identify and characterize ... -
Knocking down the sex peptide receptor by dsRNA feeding results in reduced oviposition rate in olive fruit flies
(2020)Insect pests can cause crop damage in yield or quality, resulting in profit losses for farmers. The primary approach to control them is still the use of chemical pesticides resulting in significant hazards to the environment ... -
Life history evolution in a globally invading tephritid: Patterns of survival and reproduction in medflies from six world regions
(2009)Comparisons among populations from different localities represent an important tool in the study of evolution. Medflies have colonized many temperate and tropical areas all over the world during the last few centuries. In ... -
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 ... -
Life table invasion models: spatial progression and species-specific partitioning
(2019)Biological invasions are increasingly being considered important spatial processes that drive global changes, threatening biodiversity, regional economies, and ecosystem functions. A unifying conceptual model of the invasion ... -
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. ... -
Local adaptation, intrapopulation adult emergence patterns, sex and prolonged diapause regulate the rate of postwinter development in pupae of the European cherry fruit fly
(2017)We used the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), an oligophagous, univoltine species that overwinters as pupae, to determine the geographical variation in postwinter development of pupae ... -
Maleness-on-the-Y (MoY) orchestrates male sex determination in major agricultural fruit fly pests
(2019)In insects, rapidly evolving primary sex-determining signals are transduced by a conserved regulatory module controlling sexual differentiation. In the agricultural pest Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly, or ... -
Manipulation of insect gut microbiota towards the improvement of Bactrocera oleae artificial rearing
(2020)Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the main pest of olive trees (Olea europaea L.), causing major damages in olive crops. Improvement of mass rearing is a prerequisite for the successful development of ... -
Medfly populations differ in diel and age patterns of sexual signalling
(2008)Insect populations may differ in several life history traits, including behavioural ones such as sexual signalling. We tested whether male Mediterranean fruit fly (medlfy), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), ... -
Medfly-Wolbachia symbiosis: Genotype x genotype interactions determine host's life history traits under mass rearing conditions
(2019)Background: Wolbachia pipientis is a widespread, obligatory intracellular and maternally inherited bacterium, that induces a wide range of reproductive alterations to its hosts. Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) is causing ... -
Microsatellite analysis of olive fly populations in the mediterranean indicates a westward expansion of the species
(2005)Bactrocera oleae is the major insect pest of the olive fruit. Twelve microsatellite loci isolated from the genome of this insect were used in a Mediterranean-wide population analysis. These loci were highly polymorphic ... -
Microsatellite and Wolbachia analysis in Rhagoletis cerasi natural populations: population structuring and multiple infections
(2014)Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major pest of sweet and sour cherries in Europe and parts of Asia. Despite its economic significance, there is a lack of studies on the genetic structure of R.cerasi populations. ... -
Nanopore long-read RNA-seq and absolute quantification delineate transcription dynamics in early embryo development of an insect pest
(2021)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the most important pest for the olive fruit but lacks adequate transcriptomic characterization that could aid in molecular control approaches. We apply nanopore long-read RNA-seq ... -
De novo assembly of the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) genome with linked-reads and long-read technologies minimizes gaps and provides exceptional y chromosome assembly
(2020)Background: The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the most important pest in the olive fruit agribusiness industry. This is because female flies lay their eggs in the unripe fruits and upon hatching the larvae feed on ... -
Obligate annual and successive facultative diapause establish a bet-hedging strategy of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) in seasonally unpredictable environments
(2017)To cope with temporal and spatial heterogeneity of habitats, herbivorous insects in the temperate zone usually enter diapause that facilitates synchronization of their life cycle with specific stages of host plants, such ... -
The odor of a plant metabolite affects life history traits in dietary restricted adult olive flies
(2016)Food quality shapes life history traits either directly or through response of individuals to additional environmental factors, such as chemical cues. Plant extracts used as food additives modulate key life history traits; ...
