Drosophila suzukii; adults; artificial diets; foods; foraging; hardness; high protein diet; larvae; niches; nutrient content; oviposition; oviposition sites; pests; plant anatomy; protein sources; yeasts
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 ...

Assessments were made of fumigant and contact toxicities of 12 Myrtaceae plant essential oils (EOs) and their components. For determining the mode of action of major components of active EOs, their activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE ...

Drosophila suzukii is an emerging global pest of soft fruit; although it likely overwinters as an adult, larval cold tolerance is important both for determining performance during spring and autumn, and for the development of temperature-based control methods aimed at larvae. We examined the low temperature biology of third instar feeding and wandering larvae in and out of food. We induced phenoty ...

Abstract:
... Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), known commonly as spotted wing drosophila, is a vinegar fly originating from South‐East Asia and a major pest to many soft‐skinned fruits. Due to the species recent arrival in North America in 2008, many fruit varieties are yet untested for susceptibility to infestation. While previous work has focused on Vitis vinifera, this study aimed to determine gr ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Drosophila suzukii is a primary insect pest that causes direct damage to fruits with a thin epidermis such as strawberries, cherries and blueberries. In strawberry fields, the co‐occurrence of D. suzukii and Zaprionus indianus has increased production losses. This study evaluated the toxicities and effects of insecticidal baits to control adults and larvae of both D. suzukii and Z. ind ...

Abstract:
... Since its recent invasion in Europe (2008) Drosophila suzukii has been responsible for severe economic losses in small fruit, cherry and strawberry cultivation. Because of the short generation time and high fecondity it is likely that D. suzukii will become resistant to some of the most widely used pesticides like spinosad and lambda-cyhalothrin. The use of these toxic insecticides comes with heal ...

Abstract:
... Drosophila suzukii Matsumara (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive vinegar fly that infests ripe and ripening soft skinned fruits. In the south‐eastern United States, blackberry (Rubus spp.) crops are heavily impacted by D. suzukii, and current management tactics rely on the use of broad‐spectrum insecticides targeted to adult populations. An improved understanding of D. suzukii biology and ecol ...

Abstract:
... Successful establishment of invasive species requires that the species meet environmental conditions favouring their longevity and fecundity. When juveniles and adults consume different resources, gravid females may have to choose whether to feed or to reproduce. We used a successful invasive species to test whether female life history traits are affected by the potential nutrients found in reprod ...

Abstract:
... Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) is a major pest of soft‐skinned fruit. Females have an enlarged serrated ovipositor that is used to cut into ripening fruit and lay their eggs. Larvae develop inside infested fruit, rendering fruit unmarketable. Previous research has indicated that D. suzukii can move from adjacent woodlands into cultivated fields. Furthermore, multiple generations can occur in a sin ...
