Age structure changes and extraordinary lifespan in wild medfly populations
Carey, J. R.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Müller, H. G.; Katsoyannos, B. I.; Kouloussis, N. A.; Wang, J. L.; Wachter, K.; Yu, W.; Liedo, P. (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 ... -
Age-specific and lifetime behavior patterns in Drosophila melanogaster and the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata
Carey, J. R.; Papadopoulos, N.; Kouloussis, N.; Katsoyannos, B.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Tseng, Y. K. (2006)Patterns of behavior were recorded every 10 min during a 2-h period each day from eclosion to death for individual Drosophila melanogaster (both sexes) and Ceratitis capitata (males-only) including walking, preening, ... -
Cost of reproduction in male medflies: The primacy of sexual courting in extreme longevity reduction
Papadopoulos, N. T.; Liedo, P.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Molleman, F.; Carey, J. R. (2010)In polygynous insect species, male reproductive success is directly related to lifetime mating success. However, the costs for males of sexual activities such as courting, signaling, and mating are largely unknown. We ... -
Demographic window to aging in the wild: Constructing life tables and estimating survival functions from marked individuals of unknown age
Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Carey, J. R.; Caswell-Chen, E. P.; Chen, C.; Papadopoulos, N.; Yao, F. (2004)We address the problem of establishing a survival schedule for wild populations. A demographic key identity is established, leading to a method whereby age-specific survival and mortality can be deduced from a marked cohort ... -
Dietary effects on sex-specific health dynamics of medfly: Support for the dynamic equilibrium model of aging
Papadopoulos, N. T.; Papanastasiou, S.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Yang, W.; Carey, J. R. (2011)We examined experimentally the relationship between the period of unhealthy life and longevity in the medfly by using the first sign of supine behavior (upside down; immobile) in medflies as an indication of their poor ... -
Graphical and demographic synopsis of the captive cohort method for estimating population age structure in the wild
Carey, J. R.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Diamantidis, A.; Koulousis, N. A. (2012)The purpose of this paper is to complement the literature concerned with the captive cohort method for estimating age structure including (1) graphic techniques to visualize and thus better understand the underlying life ... -
Life table assay of field-caught mediterranean fruit flies, ceratitis capitata, reveals age bias
Kouloussis, N. A.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Mao, M.; Katsoyannos, B. I.; Duyck, P. F.; Carey, J. R. (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
Duyck, P. F.; Kouloussis, N. A.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Quilici, S.; Wang, J. L.; Jiang, C. R.; Müller, H. G.; Carey, J. R. (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
Kouloussis, N. A.; Papadopoulos, N. T.; Katsoyannos, B. I.; Müller, H. G.; Wang, J. L.; Su, Y. R.; Molleman, F.; Carey, J. R. (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 ...
