Achilles, a new family of transcriptionally active retrotransposons from the olive fruit fly, with y chromosome preferential distribution
(2015)Sex chromosomes have many unusual features relative to autosomes. The in depth exploration of their structure will improve our understanding of their origin and divergence (degeneration) as well as the evolution of genetic ... -
Anosmic flies: what Orco silencing does to olive fruit flies
(2020)Background: The olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) is the most destructive pest of the olive cultivation worldwide causing significant production losses and olive fruit impoverishment, as its larvae feed exclusively on the ... -
Decoding the reproductive system of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae
(2021)In most diploid organisms, mating is a prerequisite for reproduction and, thus, critical to the maintenance of their population and the perpetuation of the species. Besides the importance of understanding the fundamentals ... -
Effects of early-life protein starvation on longevity and sexual performance of male medfly
(2019)Using a well-established model species for demographic, behavioural and aging research, the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), we explored whether nutritional stress early in adult life affects the sexual ... -
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 ... -
The superworm, zophobas morio (Coleoptera:Tenebrionidae): A ‘sleeping giant’ in nutrient sources
(2021)The aim of this review is to compile up-to-date information on the superworm, Zophobas morio (F.), regarding its biology and ecology, but also its further potential for use as a nutrient source for food and feed. We ... -
Targeted somatic mutagenesis through CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae
(2020)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the most destructive insect pest of olive cultivation, causing significant economic and production losses. Here, we present the establishment of the clustered ...
