Biological Aspects and Predation of Pygidicrana v-nigrum against the Mediterranean Fly Ceratitis capitata

Abstract: Fruit flies are pests of great agricultural concern, as they cause serious damage to the global fruit production. However, there are potential entomophagous organisms that can reduce the population of pest species such as Ceratitis capitata. Among the voracious and entomophagous Dermaptera predators, the species Pygidicrana v-nigrum displays a strong predatory potential to improve the agricultural handling by assisting the reduction of agrochemical use. This study aims to evaluate the biological development an… Show more

“…Control of C. capitata populations is difficult, particularly because the species is polyphagous and has a multivoltine life cycle, which requires the use of multiple tactics, including biocontrol agents. Although earwigs are voracious predators that interact with immature fruit flies in fallen fruits, little attention has been given to the predatory role of Dermaptera in controlling fruit flies (Clancy et al, 1951; Hennessey, 1997; Oliveira, Alves, et al, 2019). Our study based on numerical and functional response, and intraguild predation suggests that E. annulipes has potential as a biological control agent for fruit fly regulation.…”

“…A criação das tesourinhas ninfas e adultos foi conforme a metodologia proposta por Oliveira et al, (2019) que foram mantidas, individualizadas, em recipientes plásticos transparentes (6 x 8 cm), contendo papel absorvente umedecido. Os ovos eram postos e fixados em qualquer parte no recipiente pela fêmea, onde a fêmea protege à postura até eclosão das ninfas.…”

“…Outra espécie de dermáptero, Doru luteipes (Dermaptera: Forficulidae), foi relatada como predador de S. frugiperda (REIS et al, 1988) e de Helicoverpa zea Boddie, 1850 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (CRUZ et al, 1995). Pesquisadores têm reportado o potencial de predação da espécie Pygidicrana v-nigrum Serville, 1831 (Dermaptera: Pygidicranidae) contra a espécie Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann, 1824 (Diptera: Tephritidae) (OLIVEIRA et al, 2019). Nesse contexto, objetivou-se em conhecer o ciclo biológico de P. v-nigrum e também observar seu comportamento reprodutivo sendo alimentada com dieta artificial.…”

“…No Brasil, as perdas anuais são estimadas em 200 milhões de dólares (Camargos et al, 2017). Devido as fêmeas ovipositar os frutos, no intuito de perpetuar a espécie, suas larvas se desenvolvem no interior do fruto impossibilitando-os para o mercado nacional e internacional (Oliveira et al, 2019).…”
