Male–female separation with a genetic sexing strain of Medfly, Ceratitis capitata, based on the gene sw (slow)
(lsteg Scientific Publications, 2004)
The rate of development of the Medfly, Ceratitis capitata, slows down in the presence of mutation slow, sw. Separation of fast-developing males from slow-developing females is possible when this locus on chromosome 2 is ...
The relevance of age and nutritional status on the mating competitiveness of medfly males (Diptera: Teprhitidae)
(Brasil, 2013)
Results of previous investigations trying to ascertain which physiological factors are more important to the mating success of medfly males are controversial. In part, this controversy owes to the fact that each factor was ...
Analysis of survival, gene expression and behavior following chill-coma in the medfly Ceratitis capitata: effects of population heterogeneity and age
(Elsevier, 2014-12)
The medfly Ceratitis capitata is an agricultural pest distributed worldwide thanks, in part, to its phenotypic plasticity of thermal tolerance. Cold exposure has been shown to reduce C. capitata survival, which may affect ...
Attractant, sexual competitiveness enhancing and toxic activities of the essential oils from Baccharis spartioides and Schinus polygama on Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann
(Elsevier Science, 2014-12)
The sterile insect technique is currently used to control the fruit fly pest, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann. The problem with this technique is a decreased sexual competitiveness of the sterile males. We tested the semiochemical ...
Effects of releasing two Diachasmimorpha longicaudata population lines for the control of Ceratitis capitata infesting three key host fruit species
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Exotic plants favor persistence and spread of the invasive medfly, Ceratitis capitata. Peach and orange are key host plants for medfly proliferation in Argentina. Consequently, actions to suppress medfly populations are ...
INHIBITION OF OVIPOSITION BY NEEM EXTRACT: A BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVE FOR THE CONTROL OF THE MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE)
(FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCLUTZ, 2012)
The behavioral inhibitory effect of methanol extracts from neem leaves (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) at different concentrations (0, 10,000, 18,000, 32,000 and 56,000 ppm) was evaluated using naive and experienced medflies ...
Chill-coma recovery time, age and sex determine lipid profiles in Ceratitis capitata tissues.
(Elsevier, 2016-02)
The remodeling of membrane composition by changes in phospholipid head groups and fatty acids (FA) degree of unsaturation has been associated with the maintenance of membrane homeostasis under stress conditions. Overall ...
OFFSPRING IN RESPONSE TO PARENTAL FEMALE DENSITIES IN THE FRUIT FLY PARASITOID DIACHASMIMORPHA LONGICAUDATA (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE: OPIINAE)
(FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC, 2008)
As part of an evaluation of the braconid parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) as a biocontrol agent of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) in Brazil, the aims in the current study were to find the best parental ...
