Puncture resistance in 'Sharwil' avocado to oriental fruit fly and Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) oviposition.
The physiological basis for host antibiosis or nonpreference to a quarantine pest is often not understood. Studies are needed on the mechanisms that impart resistance to better understand how resistance might fail. Experiments were conducted to examine the infestability of 'Sharwil' avocados by oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wi...

Adult Mediterranean fruit flies feed on all sorts of protein sources, including animal excreta, in order to develop eggs. After reaching sexual maturity and copulating, female flies lay eggs in fru...
متن کاملMortality dynamics of density in the Mediterranean fruit fly.
The effects on medfly age-specific mortality of three types of densities--initial, current, and cumulative--were examined using sex-specific data from two sets of studies: (1) previous research on mortality patterns in 1.2 million individuals maintained in 167 different cages (1992 Science 258, 457) and ii) density experiments using a total of 210,000 individuals contained in 49 cages and maint...
