Ancestral populations perform better in a novel environment: domestication of Mediterranean fruit fly populations from five global regions
(2011)Geographically isolated populations of a species may differ in several aspects of life history, morphology, behaviour and genetic structure as a result of adaptation in ecologically diverse habitats. We used a global ... -
Aromatized to Find Mates: alpha-Pinene Aroma Boosts the Mating Success of Adult Olive Fruit Flies
(2013)Background: Contrary to other Tephritidae, female but also male olive flies, Bactrocera oleae release pheromones during their sexual communication. Alpha-pinene, a common plant volatile found in high amounts in unripe olive ... -
Cross-amplified microsatellites in the European cherry fly, Rhagoletis cerasi: medium polymorphic-highly informative markers
(2011)The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a major pest of cherries in Europe and parts of Asia. Despite its big economic significance, there is a lack of studies on the genetic structure ... -
Effects of Wolbachia on fitness of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2011)Wolbachia pipientis is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and other arthropods exerting a wide range of biological effects on their hosts. A growing number of recent studies document the influence of Wolbachia on ... -
Energetic loads and informational entropy during insect metamorphosis: Measuring structural variability and self-organization
(2011)In this work an information theory approach is presented for measuring structural variability during insect metamorphosis. Following a self-organizational perspective, the underlying assumption is that an insect pupa is a ... -
Estimating changes in mean population age using the death distributions of live-captured medflies
(2012)1. A simple, low-cost approach to estimating population ageing was introduced based on a modified version of the captive cohort method a technique developed earlier (Carey et al., Aging Cell, 7, 426437, 2008) in which ... -
Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers from the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, and their cross-species amplification in the Tephritidae family
(2008)Background: The Tephritidae family of insects includes the most important agricultural pests of fruits and vegetables, belonging mainly to four genera (Bactrocera, Ceratitis, Anastrepha and Rhagoletis). The olive fruit ... -
Management of protein intake in the fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus
(2011)This work tested if carbohydrates and proteins ingestion is regulated in the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, to optimize survival and reproduction. Adult food treatments were established by providing sugar ... -
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. ... -
Molecular Characterization and Chromosomal Distribution of a Species-Specific Transcribed Centromeric Satellite Repeat from the Olive Fruit Fly, Bactrocera oleae
(2013)Satellite repetitive sequences that accumulate in the heterochromatin consist a large fraction of a genome and due to their properties are suggested to be implicated in centromere function. Current knowledge of heterochromatic ... -
Organophosphosphate resistance-related mutations in the acetylcholinesterase gene of Tephritidae
(2008)Tephritid insects comprise one of the most devastating families of insect pests worldwide. Organophosphate insecticides have been extensively used for their control during the last 40 years. Inevitably, this has led to the ... -
Polygyny in the olive fly-effects on male and female fitness
(2015)Polygynous males must balance their limited ejaculate resources between current copulations, with putative future ones. Working on olive flies (Bactrocera oleae), our objectives were to determine (a) how males budget sperm ...
