Introduction to Host Fruits

dorsalis were significantly influenced by the host fruits due to their respective phytoconstituents in terms of host suitability or susceptibility (guava> water apple> rose apple> mango).

suzukii females use cues of different fruit properties to rank potential host fruits in a hierarchical manner.

The reciprocal adaptability between specialist insects and their hosts have been adequately explored; however, the mechanisms underlying the adaptation of tephritid fruit fly specialists, a group of notorious pests worldwide, to unripen host fruits remain elusive.

This new trap utilizes host fruits that are known host substrates for SWD and chocolate or vanilla baits, yielding a more accurate measure of SWD-parasitoids populations than banana traps.

suzukii larvae infesting different host fruits (blackberry, cherry and strawberry).

Dacini fruit flies are interesting models to investigate chemosensory mechanisms because they utilize various chemical cues, such as floral fragrances in mutualistic relationships, volatiles released from host fruits, and sex pheromones in mating behaviors.

Biocontrol agents including antagonistic yeasts encounters oxidative stress when they are applied into host fruits.

fraterculus, and host fruits may enhance the use of these agents in biological control programmes.

Different host fruits are known to vary in their suitability for fruit flies to complete their life cycle.

suzukii adult emergence from fruit compared to conventional ryegrass/clover mixes, however this trial should be replicated over multiple growing seasons, geographic locations, and host fruits.

suzukii populations, in particular in hedges that are scarce of host fruits.

anastrephae has an innate attraction to volatile cues from infested host fruits, which may lead to successful location of their insect host.

To test this hypothesis, the preference between fermentation cues (ACV) and host fruits (strawberries) and the effect of physiology (sex, seasonal morphology and feeding, mating and reproductive status) was investigated both in olfactometer laboratory experiments and a year-round field preference experiment.

We allowed a single female fruit fly to lay eggs on five different host fruits, then we monitored the larval development parameters across five generations and analyzed the bacterial community structure of larvae developing in 2 of these hosts (apple and banana) at the first and fifth generations.

The results show the importance of native host fruits for population growth of A.

Using the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha krausii we tested this hypothesis in a series of associative learning experiments which involved the parasitoid, two host fruits (tomatoes and nectarine), and one host fly (Bactrocera tryoni).

In addition, we explored the regional trade routes and volume of host fruits (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay) to understand propagule pressure.

Using a field site located at the subtropical/temperate interface, with host fruits continuously available, we monitored the development times and abundance of B.

We studied associative learning of Fopius arisanus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and tested its range of learning in natural and conditional hosts and host fruits, i.

Specifically, we quantified quantitative genetic variation and genotype by environment interactions of morphological and life history traits in different developmental environments, that is, host fruits.

The objectives of this research were to determine the richness of fruit fly species and their associations with their host fruits in the Serra da Bodoquena National Park (Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil) and surrounding areas.

MRR experiments were replicated in the presence and absence of host fruits to study how they could affect dispersal behavior.

longicaudata to medfly host fruits and infestation age are discussed in relationship to its use in IPM programs in the Mediterranean basin area.

The purpose of this study was to determine the susceptibility of known host fruits, including cherry, strawberry, blueberry, and grape, and potential host fruits, such as banana and apple, to attack by D.
