Behavioral trajectories as predictors in event history analysis: male calling behavior forecasts medfly longevity.
A recent study on wild male Mediterranean fruit flies [Papadopoulos, N.T., Katsoyannos, B.I., Kouloussis, N.A., Carey, J.R., Müller, H.-G., Zhang, Y., 2004. High sexual signalling rates of young individuals predict extended life span in male Mediterranean fruit flies. Oecologia 138, 127-134] provided evidence that intense sexual signalling (calling behavior) is associated with longer life span....
متن کاملMate choosiness in young male fruit flies
Mate choice by males has been documented in many taxa including fruit flies (Drosophila spp.). It is still unclear, however, whether male mate choice varies much with age and one cannot readily predict the direction of change in male choosiness with age. We compared mate choice in young (1 day old) and mature (4 days old) male fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). Young males spent much less t...

متن کاملLife history response of Mediterranean fruit flies to dietary restriction.
The purpose of this study was to investigate medfly longevity and reproduction across a broad spectrum of diet restriction using a protocol similar to those applied in most rodent studies. Age-specific reproduction and age of death were monitored for 1200 adult males and 1200 females, each individually maintained on one of 12 diets from ad libitum to 30% of ad libitum. Diet was provided in a fi...
متن کاملAcoustic Trap for Female Mediterranean Fruit Flies
Medflies (Ceratitis capitata) are among the world’s most economically harmful pests. In addition, the costs of worldwide monitoring and control are expensive, exceeding $800 million per year in Israel and the U.S. alone. Efficient traps are vitally important tools for medfly quarantine and pest management activities. They are needed for control as well as early detection, for predicting dispers...
