“…Some species of fruit flies become more attracted to sugar and protein when fed on items poor in these nutrients (Cresoni-Pereira & Zucoloto 2001, Cohen & Voet 2002, Fontellas & Zucoloto 2003. However, whether this condition is also applicable to the selection of oviposition sites is not very clear.…”

“…Such diet was offered in separate pieces of yeast and sucrose, because the females would not survive in a homogeneous mixture with yeast, in such sucrose concentration (see discussion in Fontellas & Zucoloto 2003). When the diet is supplied in separate pieces, the females are able to regulate yeast and sucrose ingestion, assuring survival and egg production (Cresoni-Pereira & Zucoloto 2001).…”

Neotropical Entomology 33(5): 557-562 (2004) PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Comportamento de oviposição, seleção de hospedeiros, mosca-das-frutas, ausência dos machosABSTRACT -Few works have studied in detail the types of nutrients associated to hosts which are attractive to females of Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) and influence the choice of the oviposition site. The relationship of the males in the physiology and in the behavior of those females has also been scarcely studied and some ecological relationships seem to be quite important for the knowledge of this species' biology. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the discriminatory behavior of A. obliqua between oviposition sites containing different nutrients. The presence of the male and the nutritional status of the female were also considered in this work. Two experiments were developed: in the first, the preference of A. obliqua females between artificial oviposition substrates was evaluated; in the second, females were submitted to two types of artificial oviposition substrates in the presence and in the absence of males and were fed either on a poor diet or on an adequate diet concerning sucrose concentration. In the first experiment, A. obliqua showed higher preference for substrates containing brewer's yeast and sucrose. Substrate containing only yeast was the second most accepted. Offspring development and adult feeding may have determined the choice for the substrate containing brewer's yeast and sucrose. In addition, the presence of protein in the brewer's yeast may indicate nutritional quality to the females in a more accurate way than the sucrose. In the second experiment, the brewer's yeast was the most accepted by the females. The male absence was also an important factor in the selection of hosts and in the egg production of A. obliqua.

“…(Greany & Riherd, 1993). However, carbohydrate consumption is necessary as a source of energy and for optimal adult growth and reproduction (Landolt & Davis-Hernandez, 1993;J acome et al, 1995;Fontellas & Zucoloto, 2003), so its consumption is maintained over an entire lifetime (Landolt & Davis-Hernandez, 1993;J acome et al, 1999;Aluja et al, 2011;Oviedo et al, 2011). The predominant lures used in this genus are food-based (Epsky et al, 2014), mainly protein-based where attraction depends on the need of adult females to obtain protein for ovarian development (Drew & Yuval, 2000;Aluja et al, 2001a;Kendra et al, 2005aKendra et al, , 2006, or for sperm production in the case of males (Papaj, 2000;Aluja et al, 2001bAluja et al, , 2008.…”

With the aim of finding new, sugar-based volatile attractants for economically important tephritid fruit fly species, we used electroantennography (EAG) to quantitate olfactory responses of female Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae), to volatiles of six sugar sources (refined white and brown cane sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar, date jaggery, and cane panela). Laboratory-strain and wild flies, both sexually immature and mature, were tested for EAG responses to the volatiles of dry crystallized sugar sources and 10% (wt/vol) aqueous solutions that had aged in the laboratory for 0-7 days. In general, wild flies exhibited higher EAG responses than laboratory flies, and immature females responded more strongly than mature females. With the exception of date jaggery and cane panela, volatiles of dry sugar sources and 0-and 1-day-old solutions elicited lower EAG responses than any of the aged solutions. Most solution volatiles elicited the strongest EAG response after 2 days of aging. Of the treatments evaluated, volatiles of the 5-day-old date jaggery solution elicited the highest-amplitude EAG responses (39%) in A. suspensa females. On the basis of the latter, we tested the attraction response of mature and immature females to datejaggery solutions aged over 2 and 4 days in two-choice flight tunnel bioassays. With both mature and immature females, the 2-day-old solution was more attractive than the 4-day-old jaggery solution, but significantly more mature females (70% of captures) were attracted to 2-day-old jaggery solution. We discuss our results with respect to the improvement of fruit fly lures and attractants by incorporating elements from aged date-jaggery sugar.

“…Many fruit ßies disperse in search of food, host plants, shelter, or to escape unfavorable environmental conditions (Tsiropoulos 1992, Fontellas andZucoloto 2003). For food, many adult fruit ßy species use sugars (i.e., carbohydrates) as energy sources to fuel various activities, such as ßight (Fletcher and Kapatos 1981, Tsiropoulos 1992, Fontellas and Zucoloto 2003; and in addition, they require nitrogenous food sources (e.g., amino acids, protein) for reproductive development and longevity (Hendriches andProkopy 1994, Drew andYuval 2000). Under moderate temperature conditions and with adequate water and food, most fruit ßy species are strong ßiers and can disperse great distances (Shaw et al 1967, Fletcher andKapatos 1981).…”

The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a newly invasive pest of olives, Olea europaea L., in California. The table olive industry is located in California's Central Valley, where daily high summer temperatures can be >35.0°C. This study investigated the effects of high temperatures (heat stress) and food conditions on the flight performance of B. oleae in laboratory flight mill tests. Flies were provided food (honey and hydrolyzed yeast) and water for a 1-wk preconditioning period and then subjected to 24-h preflight exposure to diurnal temperature regimes (low-high temperatures of 18.3–35.0°C and 18–37.8°C) and deprivation of food. Flies with the preflight stress conditions had significantly lower flight performance (1,305 m and 0.989 h at 18.3–35.0°C and 1,152 m and 0.966 h at 18.3–37.8°C) than control files that were held under no-stress preflight conditions (constant 23.9°C, food, and water) and flew 1,982 m for 1.54 h. Flight distance and duration were further reduced when no water was provided during the 24-h preflight exposure to high temperature stress. Flight distance and duration also were decreased when the preflight exposure period was increased to 2 and 3 d. When flies were deprived of food and water during the preconditioning period, there was significant adult mortality and flight performance was poor (<50 m and <2 min) after 24-h preflight exposure to either the 18.3–35.0°C or the 18.3–37.8°C temperature regime and deprivation of food. Heat stress and food deprivation also reduced postflight fecundity and adult longevity. The results are discussed with respect to the ability of B. oleae to survive summer heat and food deprivation by dispersing to refuges with food, water, and shelter.
