Acca sellowiana; Conotrachelus; Drosophila suzukii; alternative hosts; fruits; insect pests; Brazil
Abstract:
... We report, for the first time, the occurrence and development of Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in fruits of Acca sellowiana (Berg) Burret (Myrtaceae). Although fruits of A. sellowiana present hard and thick skin, damage caused by another insect pest, Conotrachelus psidii Marshall (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), may have enabled fruit infestation by D. suzukii. ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Understanding how species adapt to new niches is a central issue in evolutionary ecology. Nutrition is vital for the survival of all organisms and impacts species fitness and distribution. While most Drosophila species exploit rotting plant parts, some species have diversified to use ripe fruit, allowing earlier colonization. The decomposition of plant material is facilitated by yeast ...

Abstract:
... Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae), also known as the spotted‐wing drosophila, is a global pest fly. The degree of infestation of D. suzukii varies greatly among host plants, possibly depending on the physical properties of the fruits. Because some of the physical properties of fruits can only be judged by touching them, D. suzukii may choose to oviposit based on the physical pr ...

Abstract:
... It has been suggested that fruit wastes including dropped and unharvested fruits, and fruit byproducts (i.e., pomace) found in fruit plantings and cideries or wine-making facilities could serve as potential off-season breeding sites for spotted wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae)). This idea, however, has yet to be widely tested. The goal of our study was to dete ...

Abstract:
... Economic losses in a range of fruit crops due to the Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) have become severe. Removal and treatment of fruit waste, which may harbor D. suzukii, is a key step in preventing reinfestation of fruit production. Natural fermentation for disinfesting fruit wastes from D. suzukii was examined at ambient air temperatures of 12–20 °C. Soft and stone fruit wastes infested with egg ...

Abstract:
... The spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Ds), became a major economic pest for fruit production since its establishment in Europe and America. Among potential control methods, only classical biological control appears to be a mean of sustainably regulating Ds in both cultivated and natural habitats. In the frame of risk assessment, pre-release surveys were carried out in a restricted but h ...

Abstract:
... Spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is a relatively new invasive pest of small fruits in many temperate regions worldwide. Adult females possess large, serrated ovipositors that allow penetration into partially ripe and ripe fruit. Larvae render fruit unmarketable and cause economic losses. Monitoring and management tactics have focused on the adult stage, but less is known about factors ...

These structures are often covered in plastic films to reduce and diffuse ultraviolet light transmission for pest and disease control, but this may also affect the photodegradation and efficacy of pesticides applied under these tunnels. We compared the residue levels of ten insecticides und ...
