Do Mediterranean Fruit Flies Lek? Does It Matter?

Shelly, Todd E (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2000-05)

Saul and McCombs (1995) recently argued that existing data do not support the accepted notion that the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), exhibits lek behavior. In particular, these authors claimed ...
Effects of Maternal Age and Egg Quality on Mass Rearing of Mediterranean Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Lance, D R; Nishimoto, J I (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2001-05)

Tests were conducted to determine if age of mass reared adult female Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), affected the viability of their offspring. Samples of eggs (0.4 g each) were collected on five ...
Evaluation of a Single-Matrix Food Attractant Tephritid Fruit Fly Bait Dispenser for Use in Federal Trap Detection Programs

Jang, Eric B.; Holler, Tim C.; Moses, Amy L.; Salvato, Mark H.; Fraser, Suzzane (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2007-12)

The use of synthetic food attractant lures for Tephritid fruit fly trapping is presently being incorporated into U.S. state and federal detection programs. These lures consist of ammonium acetate, trimethylamine hydrochloride ...
Evaluation of Trimedlure Bait Field Duration under Florida Field Conditions

Salvato, Mark; Holler, Tim (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2005-11)

A study was conducted to determine the effect of trimedlure (TML) bait field duration on recovery of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) under west central Florida conditions. Jackson ...
Exposure to ginger root oil decreases capture of male Mediterranean fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Trimedlure-baited traps

Shelly, Todd E; Edu, James; Pahio, Elaine (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2007-12)

Detection programs for pestiferous tephritid fruit flies rely on traps baited with either natural or synthetic food substances, or so-called male lures. While studies on several tephritid species have demonstrated that ...
Exposure to Ginger Root Oil Induces Male-Like Courtship Behavior in Female Mediterranean Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Shelly, Todd (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2003-11)

Earlier observations revealed that females of Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) adopted a male-like, calling posture when exposed to the male attractant a-copaene. The present study expanded on this finding and, using ginger root ...
Exposure to Grapefruits and Grapefruit Oil Increases Male Mating Success in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Shelly, Todd E (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2009-12-01)

Exposure to certain plants or plant compounds may influence the mating success of male fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). Earlier research demonstrated that males of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis ...
Exposure to α-Copaene–Containing Fruits Enhances the Mating Success of Males from a Mass-Reared, Genetic Sexing Strain of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Shelly, Todd E. (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2005-11)

Recent research has demonstrated that exposure to ginger root oil (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, which contains α-copaene) significantly increases the mating success of mass-reared, sterile males of the Mediterranean fruit ...
Factors Affecting the Occurrence of Second Copulation by Mediterranean Fruit Fly Females (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Lee, Stephan G.; McCombs, Susan D.; Saul, Stephen H. (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2003-11)

Logistic regression was used to construct two models to predict the occurrence of second copulations by Mediterranean fruit fly females in sequential copulations with fertile males or with irradiated and non-irradiated ...
