“…Collected weevils were separated by sex (Ramírez-Choza 1993) and kept in plastic containers of 2 L capacity with agave tissue for 1 d before they were marked and released. In the 1st experiment, weevils were marked in the intersegmental area of the thorax and elytra with a Neon Red fluorescent pigment (DayGlo Color Corp. Cleveland, Ohio) that is used as marker for other insects (Quintero-Fong et al 2009). In the other experiments, weevils were marked on the elytra and pronotum with nail polish (Amour®) of various colors to differentiate the weevils released in each evaluated distance.…”

Scyphophorus acupunctatus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) is one of the most important insect pests of wild and cultivated agaves in Mexico. For managing this weevil, it is important to have a method for detecting and sampling its population density. The weevil's life cycle takes place inside the agave plant, which makes sampling of the weevil difficult. The use of traps baited with synthetic pheromone plus agave tissue is a useful tool for sampling the population density of this pest. Using the capture-mark-release-recapture method, we investigated the attraction range of traps baited with synthetic pheromone plus agave tissue to capture S. acupunctatus. We also evaluated several inter-trap distances to determine the best density of traps for monitoring this insect. Our results showed that these traps attracted S. acupunctatus up to a range of 120 m. In addition, we found that the cardinal point at which weevils were released affected their recapture. The results also showed that, in general, experiments with the longest inter-trap distances captured the most weevils. Thus, traps placed at 100 m in the 1st experiment, 200 m in the 2nd experiment, and 250 m in the 3rd experiment captured more weevils than traps placed at shorter distances. Based on our results of attraction range and inter-trap distances, we suggest that these pheromone-baited traps could be used for monitoring S. acupunctatus at densities of 1 trap per 6 ha of blue agave crop.

“…En moscas de la fruta, este tipo de mutantes indicarían un potencial para ser utilizados como marcadores genéticos para programas de liberación por la técnica del insecto estéril (TIE). Tales mutantes han sido descritos en especies como Ceratitis capitata (Rössler 1979, Niyazi et al 2005, Anastrepha fraterculus (Yamada & Selivon 2001), Bactrocera cucurbitae (McInnis et al 2004) y A. ludens (Quintero et al 2009). Sin embargo, el mutante de A. ludens que tiene como características ojos amarillos y cuerpo claro debido a un locus trasmitido como recesivo y autosomal (Meza et al 2004), los machos presentan baja eficiencia de apareamientos cuando se relacionan con hembras silvestres (Quintero et al 2009).…”

La mosca mexicana de la fruta, Anastrepha ludens (Loew) es una plaga de importancia económica en cultivos de cítricos y mango en México. Estudios del comportamiento sexual en cepas mutantes pueden contribuir en la selección de insectos con potencial para liberación en campo. En este estudio se evaluó la respuesta visual del mutante ojos amarillos de A. ludens mediante experimentos de elección de color para determinar posibles deficiencias visuales. Las pruebas de laboratorio se realizaron utilizando esferas de color verde, naranja y blanco, comparando la cepa mutante con moscas de cría del tipo silvestre utilizadas como testigo. Los resultados indicaron que las moscas mutantes no presentan discriminación en la elección del color, evidenciando posibles deficiencias visuales.

The Mexican fruit fly (Anastrepha ludens, Loew, Diptera: Tephritidae) and the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann, Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the world's most damaging pests affecting fruits and vegetables. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which consists in the mass-production, irradiation, and release of insects in affected areas is currently used for their control. The appropriate time for irradiation, one to two days before adult emergence, is determined through the color of the eyes, which varies according to the physiological age of pupae. Age is checked visually, which is subjective and depends on the technician's skill. Here, image processing and Machine Learning techniques were implemented as a method to determine pupal development using eye color. First, Multi Template Matching (MTM) was used to correctly crop the eye section of pupae for 96.2% of images from A. ludens and 97.5% of images for C. capitata. Then, supervised Machine Learning algorithms were applied to the cropped images to classify the physiological age according to the color of the eyes. Algorithms based on Inception v1, correctly identified the physiological age of maturity at 2 d before emergence, with a 75.0% accuracy for A. ludens and 83.16% for C. capitata, respectively. Supervised Machine Learning algorithms based on Neural Networks could be used as support in determining the physiological age of pupae from images, thus reducing human error and uncertainty in decisions as when to irradiate. The development of a user interface and an automatization process could be further developed, based on the data obtained on this study.
