“…In the sexual competition experiment, males from pupae which developed at 30°C recorded the lowest number of matings. In males from pupae that developed at 25°C, the amount of volatile emitted decreased after reaching ten days of age but showed slight recovery at 14 days; a similar trend was observed by López-Guillén (2008). This suggests that accelerated development at temperatures of up to 30°C had an adverse effect on the insects’ sexual maturity, resulting in a change in volatile production.…”

“…Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis demonstrated that the males from pupae reared at different temperatures qualitatively released the same mixture of compounds, mainly ( E , E )-α-farnesene, ( Z , E )-α-farnesene and ( Z )-3-nonenol, previously identified by Heath et al . (2000), Ibáñez-López & Cruz-López (2001) and an unidentified compound also described by López-Guillén (2008). However, the released compounds ( E , E )-α-farnesene, the unknown compound and ( Z )-3-nonenol varied quantitatively with temperature (F=76.91; df=3, 908; P <0.05).…”

The effect of four temperatures (18, 20, 25 and 30°C) on pupa development and sexual maturity of Anastrepha obliqua adults was investigated under laboratory conditions. The results showed that the duration of the pupal stage decreased with an increase in temperature (29, 25, 13 and 12 days, respectively), and maintaining the pupae at 18°C and 20°C results in a low percentage of pupation, pupa weight loss and lesser flying ability. However, it significantly favored sexual behavior, a higher proportion of sexual calls and matings. While enhanced pupa development was observed at a temperature of 30°C, adults had low sexual efficiency, as well as a lower proportion of calls and matings. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of male volatiles showed that the amount of (Z,E)-α-farnesene did not vary among males from pupae reared at different temperatures; however, less (E,E)-α-farnesene was emitted by males obtain from pupa reared at 30°C. Male flies kept at 30°C during their larval stage had more (Z)-3-nonenol and, also, an unknown compound was detected. The fecundity of the females was higher at low temperatures. Regarding fertility, no significant differences were found between temperatures. The optimal temperature on pupa development was 25°C when males displayed ideal attributes for rearing purposes.

“…Mainali and Lim (2010) found that western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)) were more attracted to flat yellow sticky traps on a black background and suggested that the black background may help the insect to perceive reflectance with minimal interception from other sources of reflectance. There is considerable variation among insect species in their color preference, but attractive colors typically resemble suitable habitats for mating, oviposition, or feeding (e.g., Hoback et al, 1999;Cilek, 2003;Döring et al, 2004;López-Guillén et al, 2009). For example, many herbivorous insects respond to the color yellow or white, which corresponds to the peak color reflectance of plants (Prokopy and Owens, 1983).…”

Tribolium castaneum and Tribolium confusum can be monitored in food processing facilities using traps baited with pheromones and kairomones, but beetle response to traps might be enhanced by adding visual cues. Against a white background, T. castaneum adults were more likely to visit black pillars than white pillars when presented with a choice (e.g., 73% of beetles visited black and 17% visiting white pillar), and visits to black pillars increased with pillar height. When tested against a black background, beetles did not show a significant preference for either color pillar regardless of height. When comparing beetle's captures in pheromone/kairomone baited traps placed in front of a white or black panel in a white arena under high, low, or dark light conditions, more beetles were captured in traps in front of black panels under both high and low light conditions, but not under dark conditions. A similar pattern of capture under low light and dark conditions was also found for the closely related species T. confusum. In a larger scale choice test, the same pattern of greater T. castaneum captures in traps in front of black panels than white panels was obtained, whether traps were placed in corners or along walls. Our results suggest that captures in monitoring traps could be increased by adding dark vertical shapes behind trap locations or placing traps near dark structures.

“…Anastrepha obliqua, the West Indian fruit fly, is an economically important Tephritid pest species in the Western Hemisphere (López-Guillén et al 2009;Leite et al 2017;). This species is distributed mainly in the tropical regions of the Americas, from the north of Mexico to the southeast of Brazil, including the Caribbean Islands and, occasionally, the south of the United States (Steck 2001;Garcia and Ricalde 2013;, being dominant in tropical regions with high temperature and humidity (CABI 2017).…”
