“…Based on male response to lures observed in field surveys of wild populations, Drew (1974), Drew and Hooper (1981), and Hardy (1979) classified Bactrocera species into three groups, i.e., males attracted to i) methyl eugenol (ME), ii) raspberry ketone (RK, or its man-made analogue, cue lure, CL), or iii) neither of these chemicals. ME and CL are currently used in detection programs worldwide (IPRFFSP, 2006;Jessup et al, 2007;Gonzalez and Troncoso, 2007). In addition, ME and, to a lesser extent, CL have been used to eradicate infestations via the Male Annihilation Technique, in which the lure (plus a toxicant) is applied to "carriers" (e.g., fiberboard blocks) that are distributed widely throughout the target area Seewooruthun et al, 2000).…”

Bactrocera is a speciose genus of tephritid fruit fly that includes several important pests of fruits and vegetables. Detection and control of these pestiferous species rely heavily upon male attractants or lures, with different Bactrocera species responding to either methyl eugenol (ME) or raspberry ketone (RK; or its man-made analogue cue lure, CL). Despite their usage worldwide, the function of ME and RK/CL in the natural history of Bactrocera flies is poorly known. The purpose of this review is to summarize research on the potential role of ME and RK/CL-as pheromone precursors or components-in the sexual communication of Bactrocera species. The topics covered include i) male feeding behavior on ME or RK/CL, ii) the fate of ingested lures, iii) female and male attraction to lure-fed males, and iv) mating success of lure-fed males. Data are available for only a few species, but they provide solid evidence for a role of male lures in mating behavior. For several ME-responding species, research has shown that i) ME metabolites are incorporated and emitted along with endogenously produced components of the male sex pheromone, ii) females show preferential attraction to pheromone containing these metabolites, and iii) males fed ME (or plants containing ME) enjoy increased mating success over non-fed males. Fewer studies have been conducted on RK/CL-responding species, and these reveal i) the lure is not broken down or metabolized but is sequestered (and presumably emitted) as RK, ii) females show preferential attraction to pheromone produced by males that fed upon RK/CL, and iii) RK/CL ingestion produces a significant, but short-lived (1 d), boost in male mating success. Potentially productive avenues of future research are discussed.

“…The region includes the majority of horticultural production for southern New South Wales, northern Victoria and eastern South Australia (Hendrichs et al, 2005;Jessup et al, 2007). Embedded within the FFEZ is the Greater Sunraysia Pest Free Area (GSPFA), which includes the high value production areas of Mildura and Swan Hill (Fig.…”

“…Roadblock operators inspect vehicles entering the PFA and control the movements of host fruit through a permit system (Dominiak and Coombes, 2010). Road signage close to roadblock site is also used as a strategy to reduce the amount of infested fruit entering the PFA (Dominiak and Coombes, 2009;Jessup et al, 2007). The effect of roadblocks on outbreak probability depends on how rigorously roadblocks are operated, the number of roadblock sites and the invasive pressure of the pest (Mumford, 2000).…”

“…Since 1994, the western section of the study area has been maintained as a B. tryoni quarantine area, the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone (FFEZ; Jessup et al, 2007; Figure 1), containing a permanent monitoring grid of 3000 B. tryoni male-lure traps. Between 1994 and mid-1996 only two flies were caught in the FFEZ and none were trapped in the second half of 1996 Fly samples from the FFEZ were obtained from the trapping grid.…”

Previous population genetic studies of the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni Froggatt (Diptera: Tephritidae), in its central range have shown barely detectable genetic differentiation across distances of almost 3000 km (F st ¼ 0.003). In this study, we investigated the genetic structuring of southern border populations of B. tryoni, in the region extending from the central population to the recently colonized southern range limit. The expectation was that marginal populations would be small, fragmented population sinks, with local adaptation limited by gene flow or drift. Unexpectedly, we found that the population at the southern extreme of the range was a source population, rather than a sink, for the surrounding region. This was shown by assignment testing of recent outbreaks in an adjoining quarantine area and by indirect migration estimates. Furthermore, populations in the region had formed a latitudinal cline in microsatellite allele frequencies, spanning the region between the central population and the southern range limit. The cline has formed within 250 generations of the initial invasion and appears stable between years. We show that there is restricted gene flow in the region and that effective population sizes are of the order of 10 2 -10 3 . Although the cline may result from natural selection, neutral evolutionary processes may also explain our findings.
