Abstract:
New data on the distribution and host plants of nine species of Tephritidae are presented. Tephritis oedipus Hendel, 1927, T. hendeliana Hering, 1944 and Terellia uncinata White, 1989 are recorded for the first time from Transcaucasia. Urophora sirunaseva (Hering, 1938) is recorded for the first time from Armenia. New host plants are recorded for five species of tephritid flies: Centaurea polyphylla Ledeb. ex Nordm. and Amberboa glauca (Willd.) Grossh. for Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794), Lactuca orientalis (Boiss.) Boiss. for Hypenidium roborowskii (Becker, 1907), Reichardia dichotoma (DC.) Freyn for Trupanea amoena (Frauenfeld, 1857), Cladochaeta candidissima (M. Bieb.) DC. for Trupanea stellata (Fuessly, 1775), and Centaurea cheiranthifolia Willd. for Xyphosia laticauda (Meigen, 1826). The morphological details of all species of tephritid flies recorded here are illustrated in colour photos.

Abstract:
Tephritid fruit flies require protein for sexual and gonotrophic development. Food-based lures are therefore widely used in strategies to detect and control fruit flies in the Tephritidae family. However, these baits are attractive to a broad range of insect species. We therefore sought to identify volatiles detected by the fly antennae, with the goal to compose lures that more specifically target tephritids. Using gas chromatography-coupled electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) we screened for antennal responses of four important tephritid species to volatile compounds from five commercially available protein-based baits. Antennal active compounds were reconstituted in synthetic blends for each species and used in behavioral assays. These species-based blends were attractive in olfactometer experiments, as was a blend composed of all antennally active compounds from all the four species we observed (tested only in Bactrocera dorsalis, Hendel). Pilot field tests indicate that the blends need to be further evaluated and optimized under field conditions.

Abstract:
The Dipteran family Tephritidae (true fruit flies) comprises more than 5000 species classified in 500 genera distributed worldwide. Tephritidae include devastating agricultural pests and highly invasive species whose spread is currently facilitated by globalization, international trade and human mobility. The ability to identify and exploit a wide range of host plants for oviposition, as well as effective and diversified reproductive strategies, are among the key features supporting tephritid biological success. Intraspecific communication involves the exchange of a complex set of sensory cues that are species- and sex-specific. Chemical signals, which are standing out in tephritid communication, comprise long-distance pheromones emitted by one or both sexes, cuticular hydrocarbons with limited volatility deposited on the surrounding substrate or on the insect body regulating medium- to short-distance communication, and host-marking compounds deposited on the fruit after oviposition. In this review, the current knowledge on tephritid chemical communication was analysed with a special emphasis on fruit fly pest species belonging to the Anastrepha, Bactrocera, Ceratitis, Rhagoletis and Zeugodacus genera. The multidisciplinary approaches adopted for characterising tephritid semiochemicals, and the real-world applications and challenges for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and biological control strategies are critically discussed. Future perspectives for targeted research on fruit fly chemical communication are highlighted.

Abstract:
Abstract Fruit flies are significant insect pests, worldwide. Tephritid species diversity and their seasonal abundance were investigated over 2 yr (May 2017 to May 2019) in Western Burkina Faso. A mass trapping experiment consisting of 288 Tephri Trap types, operating with four types of parapheromones comprising methyl eugenol, terpinyl acetate, trimedlure, and cue lure and an insecticide (Dichlorvos), was used for attracting and killing insects. Plant formations including natural fallows, mango orchards, and agroforestry parks in each of the six study sites were selected for data collection. Twenty-nine tephritid species belonging to 10 genera were identified. Fourteen fruit fly species were identified for the first time in Burkina Faso. The genera Ceratitis MacLeay (Diptera : Tephritidae) and Dacus Fabricius (Diptera: Tephritidae) with, respectively, 14 and 7 species recorded were the most represented. The dominant species caught was the invasive Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (Diptera: Tephritidae) followed by Ceratitis cosyra Walker (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Ceratitis silvestrii Bezzi (Diptera: Tephritidae). The fruit fly population density was very high during the rainy season, with peaks occurring in June or July. The fruit fly species were generally more abundant during the hot and rainy seasons than during the cold and dry seasons. The highest diversity was recorded in natural fallows, as compared with the mango orchards and agroforestry parks. Tephritid species found refuge in the mango orchards during the dry and cold periods. The results of that investigation may be used for developing a sustainable pest management strategy for commercial orchards.

Abstract:
AbstractTen economically important species belonging to the Tephritidae have been recorded in Union of the Comoros (an island nation off the coast of East Africa). Little is known about the distribution of these species and how they are affected by climatic factors in the Comoros archipelago. The main objectives of this study were to characterize: (i) the population dynamics of tephritid fruit flies in relation to season and host fruit availability and (ii) the geographic distribution of tephritids in relation to temperature and rainfall. The study was conducted during 2 years at 11 sites on three islands (Grande Comore, Anjouan, and Mohéli) in the archipelago. The site elevations ranged from 55 to 885 m a.s.l. At each site, flies were collected weekly in eight traps (four different lures, each replicated twice). Fruit phenology was also recorded weekly. The dominant tephritid species detected was the invasive Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel followed by Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann. Tephritid species were generally more abundant during the hot and rainy seasons than during the cold and dry seasons. Bactrocera dorsalis numbers were higher on Grande Comore than on the two other islands. On Anjouan and Mohéli, B. dorsalis numbers were very low in 2014 but sharply increased in 2015, suggesting a recent invasion of these islands. Abundances were significantly related to the fruiting of mango, strawberry guava, and guava for B. dorsalis and to the fruiting of mango, guava, and mandarin for C. capitata. Bactrocera dorsalis was more abundant in hot and humid low-altitude areas, while C. capitata was more abundant in dry medium-altitude areas, suggesting the occurrence of climatic niche partitioning between the two species.

Abstract:
AbstractThe family Tephritidae (order: Diptera), commonly known as fruit flies, comprises a widely distributed group of agricultural pests. The tephritid pests infest multiple species of fruits and vegetables, resulting in huge crop losses. Here, we summarize the composition and diversity of tephritid gut-associated bacteria communities and host intrinsic and environmental factors that influence the microbiome structures. Diverse members of Enterobacteriaceae, most commonly Klebsiella and Enterobacter bacteria, are prevalent in fruit flies guts. Roles played by gut bacteria in host nutrition, development, physiology and resistance to insecticides and pathogens are also addressed. This review provides an overview of fruit fly microbiome structure and points to diverse roles that it can play in fly physiology and survival. It also considers potential use of this knowledge for the control of economically important fruit flies, including the sterile insect technique and cue-lure baiting.

Abstract:
AbstractMost of the current knowledge about African tephritids originates from studies performed in agricultural areas, while information about their distribution in pristine or moderately disturbed environments is extremely scarce. This study aims at (i) describing levels of spatial variability of frugivorous tephritids in tropical forests and small rural villages of the Congo River basin and (ii) verifying if human-mediated activities, such as small-scale agriculture and trade, can affect their distribution patterns. Four locations were sampled along a 250 km stretch of the Congo River. At each location, pristine and disturbed habitats (i.e. tropical forests and small rural villages, respectively) were sampled, with three replicate sites in each combination of habitat and location. Sampling with modified McPhail traps baited with four different attractants yielded 819 tephritid specimens of 29 species from seven genera (Bactrocera, Carpophthoromyia, Ceratitis, Dacus, Celidodacus, Perilampsis, Trirhithrum). The three most abundant species sampled (Dacus bivittatus, D. punctatifrons, Bactrocera invadens) showed significant variations in abundance across locations and sites and accounted for 98.29% of the overall dissimilarity between habitats. Assemblages differed among locations and sites while they showed significant differences between pristine and disturbed habitats in two out of the four locations. This study shows that frugivorous tephritids in central Congo have remarkably patchy distributions with differences among locations and sites representing the main source of variability. Our data show that, in rural villages of central Democratic Republic of Congo, human activities, such as small-scale agriculture and local commerce, are not always sufficient to promote differences between the tephritid assemblages of villages and those of the surrounding tropical forests.

Abstract:
Mango, Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae), is a crop cultivated pantropically. There are, however, many other Mangifera spp (“mango relatives”) which have much more restricted distributions and are poorly known but have potential to produce mango-like fruits in areas where mangoes do not grow well or could be tapped in mango breeding programs. Because of the restricted distribution of many of the Mangifera spp, there has also been limited data collected on susceptibility of their fruits to infestation by tephritid fruit flies which is important to know for concerns both for quality of production and for quarantine security of fruit exports. Here, we report on natural field infestation by the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae), of two mango relatives native to Indonesia: Mangifera casturi and Mangifera lalijiwa. Rates of infestation of fruits of these two Mangifera spp by tephritid fruit flies have not previously been reported.

Abstract:
The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the single most important pest in olive plantations. Currently, control of olive fly relies on the heavy use of chemical pesticides. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective, species-specific and environmentally non-polluting method of pest control that involves the mass-release of sterilised insects. SIT is considered a potentially valuable method for the control of olive fly. Previous olive fly SIT attempts failed due to an inability to produce large numbers of flies, low egg production rates and lack of a method to separate the sexes. RIDL (Release of Insects carrying a Dominant Lethal) is a biotechnology-based variant of SIT. This could potentially overcome several problems of classical SIT, including the radiation damage to insects. To develop fly male sterility, we have identified and tested several different germline specific promoters and several potential effector genes. These have been linked to the ‘tet-off’ expression system, which is suppressed by dietary tetracycline, and were initially tested in the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) for practicality. In the absence of tetracycline, tTAV binds to its target sequence, tetO, and activates expression of downstream genes. Flies carrying a promoter construct (topi-tTAV or β2-tubulin-tTAV) in medfly were crossed to flies carrying effector constructs (tetO-I-ppoI, tetO-3zincfinger or tetO-ProtamineFokI). A combination of β2-tubulin-tTAV and tetO-ProtamineFokI gave the best male sterility in medfly. A construct containing both elements was designed, and transposon-based germline transformation was used to generate and test ten olive fly strains. Progeny assessment off tetracycline indicates high penetrance of the male-sterile phenotype in all strains, with only 0.0-2.4% viable progeny; this sterile phenotype appears to be completely suppressed by provision of dietary tetracycline.

Abstract:
Reproductive traits are often thought of as fixed, genetically determined properties. However, such traits are often dynamic, exhibiting different expression patterns depending on context. Both internal state and external environment can have a strong effect on how traits are expressed. Variation in these factors across the lifetime of an individual should select for flexibility in trait expression, rather than fixation.My dissertation work examines how mating behavior and testes size respond to several previously unexplored contextual factors, using Rhagoletis juglandis, the walnut fly, as a model system. For mating behavior, I predicted that differences in female reproductive state (egg load) and experience with host resource would impact mating decisions. For testes size, I predicted that social environment (sex ratio) and changes in resource environment would determine testes size.Behavioral observations of flies showed that a large egg load increased the likelihood of copulation, while prior experience with host fruit decreased copulation time. These results are the first to distinguish effects of experience on physiological state from other effects of experience in the context of mating behavior.Manipulation of the sex ratio revealed that males develop larger testes when reared in an environment with many potential competitors. This is the first study to show that that allocation to a male reproductive organ can change depending on the sex ratio. My studies showed that resource environment is also important in determining testes investment patterns. When adult males are deprived of protein, they develop smaller testes. A stable isotope analysis of testes further confirms that resource environment is important for testes development. Males rely more on nitrogen derived at the larval stage than at the adult stage, but adult carbon sources are a large component of testes mass.In sum, this dissertation demonstrates the importance of context in the expression of reproductive traits. Recent research has shown that such traits can respond more dynamically to context than previously thought, but this area of research is young. My results help provide a greater understanding of the processes shaping the evolution of reproductive traits.

Abstract:
Os microrganismos presentes no intestino de insetos podem desempenhar importantes funções na biologia de seus hospedeiros, como na nutrição, detoxificação de compostos de defesas das plantas, prevenção da infecção por patógenos e produção de semioquímicos importantes nas interações de insetos. O primeiro passo para entender as funções da microbiota do intestino na biologia de insetos consiste na identificação dessas comunidades. Neste trabalho, a diversidade de bactérias do intestino de larvas e adultos da mosca-das-frutas sul-americana, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Tephritidae), foi determinada por métodos baseados ou não no cultivo. O método baseado no cultivo foi utilizado no estudo da diversidade da microbiota de população de laboratório mantida em frutos de mamão, avaliando-se a diversidade presente no intestino de larvas e em duas regiões distintas do intestino de adultos, o papo e o intestino médio+posterior. A análise metagenômica pela avaliação de bibliotecas de 16S rDNA foi aplicada ao estudo da diversidade da microbiota associada a moscas oriundas de diferentes frutos hospedeiros (guabiroba, nêspera, maçã, mamão e pitanga). As análises por cultivo permitiram a identificação de 25 filotipos associados ao intestino de larvas e adultos, sendo a diversidade em larvas bem distinta daquela de adultos. Os Filos Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes e Proteobacteria foram representados por 10 famílias, sendo Enterobacteriaceae a mais abundante. Filotipo próximo à enterobacteriacea Cedecea davisae foi o único a ocorrer no intestino de larvas e papo e intestino de adultos. A análise metagenômica dos insetos obtidos em diferentes frutos hospedeiros estendeu a diversidade anteriormente identificada aos Filos Cyanobacteria, Deinococcus, Elusimicrobia, Planctomycetes e Verrucomicrobia. Novamente, Proteobacteria se destacou como o mais diverso. Esse estudo demonstrou que a comunidade microbiana associada ao intestino de A. fraterculus é inteiramente influenciado pelo fruto hospedeiro utilizado, sendo raros os filotipos compartilhados por insetos em diferentes frutos. A composição da microbiota do intestino do adulto é muito menos diversa do que a da larva, independentemente do fruto utilizado. Mas vários filotipos, como aqueles próximos a Acinetobacter bereziniae, Cedecea davisae, Comamonas koreensis, Enterobacter asburiae, Empedobacter brevis e Hydrogenophilus hirschii, além do parasita intracelular Wolbachia pipientis, mantiveram-se associadas ao intestino de larvas e adultos de A. fraterculus, mesmo após a metamorfose. A análise das comunidades bacterianas de A. fraterculus sugere que as variações em suas estruturas estão relacionadas ao substrato alimentar utilizado pelo inseto.
The microorganisms present in the insect gut can play important roles in the biology of their hosts such as nutrition, detoxification of compounds defenses of plants, preventing infection by pathogens and production of important semiochemicals in insect interactions. The first step to understanding the functions of the gut microbiota in insect biology is the identification of these communities. In this work, the diversity of gut bacteria in larvae and adult South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Tephritidae) , were determined by methods based on the cultivation or not . The method based on the cultivation was used to study the microbial diversity of laboratory population maintained in papaya fruits, evaluating the diversity present in the gut of larvae and in two distinct regions of the intestine of adults, the crop and midgut + hindgut. The analysis of metagenomic libraries for evaluation of 16S rDNA was applied to the study of the diversity of the microbiota associated with fruit flies from different hosts (guabiroba , medlar , apple, papaya and pitanga). The analysis by cultivation allowed the identification of 25 phylotypes associated with the gut of larvae and adults, larvae diversity being quite different from that of adults. The phyla Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were represented by 10 families, Enterobacteriaceae being the most abundant. Filotipo near Enterobacteriacea Cedecea davisae strains was the only one to occur in the gut of larvae and adult chat and intestine. The metagenomic analysis of insects obtained in different fruit hosts extended to the diversity previously identified phyla Cyanobacteria, Deinococcus, Elusimicrobia, Planctomycetes and Verrucomicrobia. Again, Proteobacteria stood out as the most diverse. This study showed that the microbial community associated with the intestine of A. fraterculus is entirely influenced by host fruit used are rare phylotypes shared by insects in different fruits. The composition of the gut microbiota in adults is far less diverse than the larvae, irrespective of the fruit used. But several phylotypes, such as those near Acinetobacter bereziniae, Cedecea davisae strains, Comamonas koreensis, Enterobacter asburiae, Empedobacter brevis and Hydrogenophilus hirschii, besides the intracellular parasite Wolbachia pipientis, remained attached to the gut of larvae and adults of A. fraterculus, even after metamorphosis. The analysis of bacterial communities of A. fraterculus suggests that variations in their structures are related to the food substrate used by the insect.

Abstract:
Queensland fruit fly is Australia's most serious insect pest of horticulture. The fly lays its eggs into fruit, where they hatch into maggots which destroy the fruit. Understanding egg laying behaviour, known as oviposition, is a critical but under-researched aspect of fruit fly biology. This thesis focused on three aspects of oviposition: the role of fruit peel as a physical barrier to oviposition; the quality of fruit for maggot development; and the structure and wear of the egg laying organ – the ovipositor. Results showed that flies selected fruit based on their suitability for offspring survival, not because of the softness or hardness of fruit peel. Previously reported use of holes or wounds in fruit peel by ovipositing females was determined to be a mechanism which saved the female time, not a mechanism to reduce ovipositor wear. The results offer insights into the evolution of host use by fruit flies and their sustainable management.

Abstract:
Fruit flies are serious pests of fruit around the world, as their maggots destroy fruit by feeding within them. An important non-pesticide control option for fruit flies is the use of natural enemies. This study investigated the role of memory and learning in the host searching behaviour of one such natural enemy, the small wasp, Diachasmimorpha kraussii. This wasp is native to Australia and attacks our most serious fruit fly pest, the Queensland Fruit Fly. This research studied fundamental insect behaviour, but produced specific recommendations for the more effective use of Diachasmimorpha kraussii for sustainable pest management.

Abstract:
Objectives: to demonstrate nitrogen fixation in the gut of Ceratitiscapitata, the Mediterranean fruit fly and that fixed nitrogen is important for the fly. Background: Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are a highly successful, widespread group of insects causing enormous economic damage in agriculture. They are anautogenous, i.e. the acquisition of nitrogenous compounds by both male and female is essential for the realization of their reproductive potential. Nitrogen, although abundant in the atmosphere, is paradoxically a limiting resource for multicellular organisms. In the Animalia, biological nitrogen fixation has solely been demonstrated in termites. Major achievements and conclusions: We found that all individuals of field-collected medflies harbor large diazotrophicenterobacterial populations that express dinitrogenreductase in the gut. Moreover, nitrogen fixation was demonstrated in isolated guts and in live flies and may significantly contribute to the fly’s nitrogen intake. Specific components of these communities were shown to be transmitted vertically between flies. Moreover, we found that the gut bacterial community changes during the fly’s active season both in composition and complexity. Moreover, strong changes in community structure were also observed between the fly's various developmental stages. An initial analysis using SuPERPCR, a technology enabling the detection of minor populations by selective elimination of the dominant 16S rDNA sequences revealed that Pseudomonasspp. may also be part of the gut community. Implications: The presence of similar bacterial consortia in additional insect orders suggests that nitrogen fixation occurs in vast pools of terrestrial insects. On such a large scale, this phenomenon may have a considerable impact on the nitrogen cycle.

Abstract:
The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a ubiquitous pest of fruit trees, causing significant economic damage both in the U.S. and in Israel. Control efforts in the future will rely heavily on the sterile insect technique (SIT). Success of such operations hinges on the competitive ability of released males. The mating system of the medfly is based on leks. These are aggregations of sexually signaling males that attract females (who then select and copulate a courting male). A major component of male competitiveness is their ability to join existing leks or establish leks that are attractive to wild females. Accordingly, we identified leks and the behaviors associated with them as critical for the success of SIT operations. The objectives of this proposal were to determine 1. what makes a good lek site, 2. what are the energetic costs of lekking, 3. how females choose leks, and finally 4. whether the copulatory success of sterile males may be manipulated by particular pre-release diets and judicious spatial dispersal. We established that males choose lek sites according to their spatial location and penological status, that they avoid predators, and within the lek tree choose the perch that affords a compromise between optimal signalling, micro-climatic conditions and predation risk (Kaspi & Yuval 1999 a&b; Field et al 2000; Kaspi & Yuval submitted). We were able to show that leks are exclusive, and that only males with adequate protein and carbohydrate reserves can participate (Yuval et al 1998; Kaspi et al 2000; Shelly et al 2000). We determined that females prefer leks formed by protein fed, sexually experienced males (Shelly 2000). Finally, we demonstrated that adding protein to the diet of sterile males significantly enhances their probability of participating in leks and copulating wild females (Kaspi & Yuval 2000).
