Coexistence between two fruit fly species is supported by the different strength of intra- and interspecific competition
(2018-04)1. Unravelling the strength and modes of interspecific interactions between resident and introduced species is necessary in order to understand the basis of their coexistence or the displacement of the former by the ... -
Cytogenetic analysis of the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (diptera:tephritidae) species complex : construction of detailed photographic polytene chromosome maps of the Argentinian af. sp.1 member
(2016)Genetic and cytogenetic studies constitute a significant basis for understanding the biology of insect pests and the design and the construction of genetic tools for biological control strategies. Anastrepha fraterculus ... -
Dynamics of genetic variability in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) during adaptation to laboratory rearing conditions
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Anastrepha fraterculus is one of the most important fruit fly plagues in the American continent and only chemical control is applied in the field to diminish its population densities. A better understanding ... -
Effect of Fruit Volatiles from Native Host Plants on the Sexual Performance of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 Males
(MDPI, 2023-02)Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1 males are sexually stimulated by the aroma of fruit of its native host Psidium guajava (guava). Other hosts, which are exotic to A. fraterculus, do not enhance male sexual behavior. Here we ... -
Genetics and biology of Anastrepha fraterculus: research supporting the use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) to control this pest in Argentina
(BMC, 2014-12)Two species of true fruit flies (taxonomic family Tephritidae) are considered pests of fruit and vegetable production in Argentina: the cosmopolitan Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann) and the new world ... -
Host discrimination in the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata : evidence from virgin female behaviour and egg distribution patterns
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-04)Many parasitoid species discriminate already parasitized hosts, thus avoiding larval competition. However, females incur in superparasitism under certain circumstances. Superparasitism is commonly observed in the artificial ... -
Male Sexual Behavior and Pheromone Emission Is Enhanced by Exposure to Guava Fruit Volatiles in Anastrepha fraterculus
(Plos One, 2015-04)Background: Plant chemicals can affect reproductive strategies of tephritid fruit flies by influencing sex pheromone communication and increasing male mating competitiveness. Objective and Methodology: We explored whether ... -
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-03)In order to reproduce, female tephritid fruit flies need both mates for fertilization and fruit for oviposition. Virgin females are prone to mating and approach males, attracted by their pheromones. Mated females, however, ... -
Ongoing speciation within the Anastrepha fraterculus cryptic species complex: the case of the Andean morphotype
(Wiley, 2014-09)The Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex is currently composed of seven taxonomically recognized morphotypes. Both, pre‐ and post‐zygotic isolation has been documented among ... -
Patterns of resource distribution among conspecific larvae in two fruit fly species : Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (diptera: tephritidae)
(2016)1 Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) are fruit fly pests whose larvae are frequently found sharing the same fruit with conspecifics. Because larvae are incapable of ... -
Plant chemicals and the sexual behavior of male tephritid fruit flies
(Oxford University Press, 2018-09)Plant compounds affect insects in many different ways. In addition to being a food source, plants also contain secondary metabolites that may have positive and negative impacts on insects. The influence of these compounds ... -
Response of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata to host and host‐habitat volatile cues
(Wiley, 2012-05)Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a fruit fly larval parasitoid, ...
