Automatic identification of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Fruit flies are pests of major economic importance in agriculture. Among these pests it is possible to highlight some species of genus Anastrepha, which attack a wide range of fruits, and are widely distributed in the American tropics and subtropics. Researchers seek to identify fruit flies in order to implement management and control programs as well as quarantine restrictions. However, fruit ...
متن کاملThe Gene Transformer of Anastrepha Fruit Flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) and Its Evolution in Insects
In the tephritids Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera oleae, the gene transformer acts as the memory device for sex determination, via an auto-regulatory function; and functional Tra protein is produced only in females. This paper investigates the evolution of the gene tra, which was characterised in twelve tephritid species belonging to the less extensively analysed genus Anastrepha. Our study p...
متن کاملVisual and olfactory stimuli and fruit maturity affect trap captures of Oriental fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae).
An effective lure-and-kill trap is a potentially important instrument in monitoring and controlling oriental fruit flies, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). A number of experiments were performed in an orchard of commercial guava, Psydium guajava L., to determine how fly captures are affected by combining visual and olfactory stimuli, and by the timing of trap deployment relative to host phenology. ...
متن کاملPhylogeny, Biology, Behavior, and Management of Tephritid Fruit Flies: an Overview
Tephritid fruit flies are a diverse group of phytophagous insects within Diptera with more than 4000 described species. Some tephritids have been thoroughly studied due to their economic importance. Nevertheless, Tephritidae includes numerous species and entire subfamilies that are harmless to man and that in some cases have been beneficial (weed biocontrol agents). Tephritids are acalypterate ...
