Additional Tests on the Efficacy of Ginger Root Oil in Enhancing the Mating Competitiveness of Sterile Males of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Shelly, Todd E.; Steiner, Ernie; Bosco, Vanessa; McInnis, Donald (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 2006-12)

Recent studies have shown that exposure to the aroma of ginger root oil (Zingiber officinale Roscoe; termed GRO hereafter) increases the mating competitiveness of males of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis ...
Does Mating with Ginger Root Oil-Exposed Males Confer Fitness Benefits to Female Mediterranean Fruit Flies, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)?

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

Females of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), mate preferentially with males previously exposed to the aroma of ginger root oil, which contains the known male attractant α-copaene, over non-exposed ...
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 ...
