Frugivorous Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae and Lonchaeidae) and Native Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) Associated withPouteria caimito(Sapotaceae) in Brazil

Diversity and seasonality of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae and Lonchaeidae) and their parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae and Figitidae) in orchards of guava, loquat and peach.

This work was carried out in orchards of guava progenies, and loquat and peach cultivars, in Monte Alegre do Sul, SP, Brazil, in 2002 and 2003. Guavas and loquats were bagged and unbagged bi-weekly and weekly, respectively, for assessment of the infestation period. Peach was only bagged weekly. The assays started when the fruits were at the beginning of development, but still green. Ripe fruits...

Parasitoid diversity (Hymenoptera: Braconidae and Figitidae) on frugivorous larvae (Diptera: Tephritidae and Lonchaeidae) at Adolpho Ducke Forest reserve, central amazon region, Manaus, Brazil.

This study aimed to identify parasitoid species of frugivorous larvae and to describe the tritrophic interactions involving wild fruits, frugivorous insects and their natural enemies at Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve (RFAD) (Manaus, AM, Brazil). Collections were performed in four 1 km2 quadrants in the corners of the RFAD. The wild fruits were collected inside the forest in access trails leading ...

The Distributions of Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of Anastrepha Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) along an Altitudinal Gradient in Veracruz, Mexico

a t s In the state of Veracruz, Mexico, fruits from 38 sites at various altitudes were collected monthly over a period of 2 years, and the tephritid fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha and associated parasitoids that emerged rom these fruits were identified and counted. Of the 6 species of fruits that contained Anastrepha larvae, 18 species also contained a total of 10 species of Anastrepha par...
