“…While Olson and decoy yellow were relatively similar in reflectance in this study, the higher reflectance of blue (450–490 nm) and possibly green (490–560 nm) of the Olson yellow compared to the decoy yellow may explain the higher attraction of D. citri to decoy yellow. A similar conclusion with Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) was made in that yellow with increased reflection of blue were less attractive [ 67 ]. In our field evaluation of yellow traps, the decoy yellow traps were more attractive to D. citri than the Olson yellow traps.…”

Laboratory assays were conducted to evaluate responses of Diaphorina citri to various aspects of visual cues associated with traps in an effort to improve trap effectiveness. Addition of white or UV violet but not yellow light-emitting diodes (LEDs) increased attraction to standard yellow adhesive traps moderately (11–17%), with no difference in attraction between white or UV violet LEDs. Addition of a black border on yellow traps enhanced collections. However, there were no differences between attraction to black patterns on traps. Comparisons were made between different commercial paints, some with UV-reflecting properties or fluorescence. A yellow paint with UV reflectance, used for painting bird decoys (decoy yellow), was more attractive than the standard yellow Olson sticky trap. Addition of white or green pigment to increase intensity or enhance green reflectance, respectively, did not increase attraction. Alteration of reflectance of Olson traps with addition of UV-reflecting or fluorescent pigments did not enhance attraction of D. citri. In field comparisons, decoy yellow and fluorescent yellow sticky traps were more attractive to D. citri than Olson yellow.

“…However, the Rebell trap also has limitations, as its cost is ~US $3/trap, versus US$1.25 for a (14 × 23 cm) YSS trap ( Great Lakes IPM Inc. 2017 ). Also, while the Rebell trap can be re-used, cleaning them for re-use is time consuming, so most growers (in Europe) use the traps for only one season ( Daniel et al 2014 ). Finally, while checking for flies on the Rebell trap is not difficult, manipulating the trap for inspection of all surfaces does take more time than checking for flies on the flat YSS.…”

“…The purpose was to show traps differed in shades of yellow and not what colors flies perceive, as L*a*b* color approximates human vision. The reflectance curve of the YSS (with Tanglefoot) is shown in Yee and Goughnour (2017) and that of the Rebell trap (no adhesive) in Daniel et al (2014) .…”

“…In Europe and Asia, the sticky crossed-panel yellow Rebell trap ( Remund and Boller 1978 , Živanović 1978 , Kovanci and Kovanci 2006 , Özdem and Kilinçer 2009 , Daniel and Grunder 2012 , Daniel et al 2014 ) and the sticky CSALOMON cylindrical-type yellow PALz trap (PALz hereafter) ( Plant Protection Institute 2017 ) were developed for R. cerasi and are effective for monitoring it. It therefore seems logical to use these traps to detect R. cerasi in surveys in North America.…”

Efficacies of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) Traps and Ammonium Lures for Western Cherry Fruit Fly

Western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a quarantine pest of cherries (Prunus spp.) in western North America that can be detected using sticky yellow rectangle traps. Recently, a related invasive fly from Europe and Asia, the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was detected in eastern North America, prompting surveys for it in the West. Sticky crossed-panel yellow Rebell and cylindrical-type yellow PALz traps were developed for R. cerasi and are effective for monitoring it, raising the question of efficacies of three-dimensional versus rectangle traps against R. indifferens. Here, efficacies of the Yellow Sticky Strip (YSS) rectangle, thus far the best trap for R. indifferens, and Rebell and PALz traps with ammonium lures were determined for R. indifferens in Washington State. The Rebell and YSS traps caught similar numbers of R. indifferens and more than the PALz trap. Ammonium carbonate (AC) released more ammonia than ammonium acetate and attracted more R. indifferens to all three traps. The large surface area or shape of the Rebell trap was responsible for its high efficacy relative to the YSS. Results suggest that YSS and Rebell traps with AC would be equally useful for detecting R. indifferens, and that a crossed-sheet YSS trap could be even more efficacious than the YSS due to greater surface area. For R. cerasi detection surveys in Washington, the PALz trap would be preferred over the Rebell trap if they are equally efficacious against R. cerasi, as fewer R. indifferens would clutter traps.

“…Because they are pests of economic significance to global agriculture [ 14 ], there are multiple data sets available in the published literature on the behaviour of these flies, e.g. for the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) [ 15 – 18 ], the Chinese citrus fruit fly, Bactrocera minax (Enderlein) [ 19 ], the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Linnaeus) [ 20 ], the Queensland fruit fly (Qfly), Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) [ 21 – 25 ], and others like the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens (Loew), the melon fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin), and the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) [ 18 ].…”

A Generic Individual-Based Spatially Explicit Model as a Novel Tool for Investigating Insect-Plant Interactions: A Case Study of the Behavioural Ecology of Frugivorous Tephritidae

et al. 2016

Computational modelling of mechanisms underlying processes in the real world can be of great value in understanding complex biological behaviours. Uptake in general biology and ecology has been rapid. However, it often requires specific data sets that are overly costly in time and resources to collect. The aim of the current study was to test whether a generic behavioural ecology model constructed using published data could give realistic outputs for individual species. An individual-based model was developed using the Pattern-Oriented Modelling (POM) strategy and protocol, based on behavioural rules associated with insect movement choices. Frugivorous Tephritidae (fruit flies) were chosen because of economic significance in global agriculture and the multiple published data sets available for a range of species. The Queensland fruit fly (Qfly), Bactrocera tryoni, was identified as a suitable individual species for testing. Plant canopies with modified architecture were used to run predictive simulations. A field study was then conducted to validate our model predictions on how plant architecture affects fruit flies’ behaviours. Characteristics of plant architecture such as different shapes, e.g., closed-canopy and vase-shaped, affected fly movement patterns and time spent on host fruit. The number of visits to host fruit also differed between the edge and centre in closed-canopy plants. Compared to plant architecture, host fruit has less contribution to effects on flies’ movement patterns. The results from this model, combined with our field study and published empirical data suggest that placing fly traps in the upper canopy at the edge should work best. Such a modelling approach allows rapid testing of ideas about organismal interactions with environmental substrates in silico rather than in vivo, to generate new perspectives. Using published data provides a saving in time and resources. Adjustments for specific questions can be achieved by refinement of parameters based on targeted experiments.
