“…The composition of the diet used to rear this population is as follows: 80 ml distilled water, 6.5 g brewer's yeast (Boneg, Juiz de Fora, Brazil), 11.0 g sucrose (União, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), 1.2 g citric acid (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 20% nipagin in alcohol solution (Merck), 0.5 ml propionic acid (Merck), and 3.0 g agar-agar (Merck). A detailed description of the rearing conditions has been published by Cocareli et al (1986Cocareli et al ( , 1988. The wild flies came from infested coffee (Coffea arabica) grains collected from home gardens in the Ribeirão Preto region, Brazil.…”

Experiments were carried out to test the performance and some aspects of feeding behavior in two populations of Ceratitis capitata (a population reared in the laboratory for 16 years, i.e., approximately 160 generations, and a wild one obtained from infested coffee, Coffea arabica grains). Two types of food were used in the experiment: an artificial yeast diet used for laboratory rearing and papaya (Carica papaya), a natural host of the fly. The performance parameters tested were percent emergence, time to emergence, adult female size, and egg production during the pre‐oviposition phase (first five days of adult life). The behavioral aspects tested were food preference by newly hatched larvae, induction, estimated ingestion of the two diets, whether the larvae placed on one diet stayed there or moved to the other diet, and acceptance of food for oviposition. The results indicated that the performance of the wild population was superior when the flies fed on papaya, whereas the performance of the laboratory population was similar with the two diets; the wild population showed a strong preference for papaya in all choice experiments, whereas the laboratory population showed no diet preference; the females of the wild population only oviposited on pieces of papaya that had not been peeled, and did not oviposit in the artificial diet; the females of the laboratory population oviposited indiscriminately on unpeeled and peeled papaya and on the artificial diet.

“…Adult female fecundity in C. capitata is related to protein intake in larval stage (Cocareli et al, 1988) but principally determined by protein ingestion in the adult phase, especially after the pre-oviposition period (the fifth day of adult life) (Cangussu and Zucoloto, 1995). Not only the quantity, but also the quality of the protein sources will affect reproductive rates in C. capitata (Chang, 2004).…”

Ceratitis capitata is one of the most important pests of fruits for exportation, and Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has been the most efficient and environmental friendly technique used to control fruit fly populations around the world. A key goal in achieving a successful SIT program is a mass rearing system producing high quality insects at low cost. Providing adults with an artificial diet containing hydrolysed protein has been the major obstacle for bio-production facilities in Brazil, because it is expensive and has to be imported. Two other commercial prod-

“…Esses dados confirmaram os trabalhos que versam sobre a importância de proteínas para a maior produção de ovos em C. capitata, tanto na fase larval como na fase adulta (Cocareli et al 1988, Cangussu & Zucoloto 1992. No gênero Anastrepha Schiner, a presença de proteína em ambas as fases também é essencial para a produção de ovos.…”

-This study evaluated the influence of two fruits hosts (orange and papaya) on biological and behavioral parameters of two populations of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) reared under laboratory conditions. One of these populations has been reared under laboratory conditions by 25 years without introduction of wild flies (Lab-pop), while the other has been maintained under the same conditions by 15 years but with occasional introduction of wild specimens (Hybrid-pop). The following parameters were analyzed: emergence percentage, life cycle duration (from eclosion to emergence), adult size, longevity, female fecundity and oviposition preference. The best performance of immatures of both populations was obtained on papaya as a host. Larvae reared on orange had longer life cycle, low emergence percentage and smaller adults. The fruit type did not affect fecundity and longevity of the Lab-pop, but in the Hybrid-pop males lived longer when reared on papaya, while females had higher longevity and fecundity when reared on orange. Females of both populations preferred to lay eggs in papaya (better host for larvae) when compared to orange. However, some eggs were deposited on orange only by females of Lab-pop, suggesting a lower ability for host selection of this population. These data are discussed regarding to the effects of continuous laboratory rearing on the biological parameters of this species.
