“…This study showed that D. suzukii began to lay eggs within 2 days after emergence under laboratory conditions, producing the most eggs when they were 5–7 days old, and this result is consistent with many earlier assessments of offspring production 2–5 days after emergence (Kanzawa, ; Chabert et al, ; Lin et al, ; Tochen et al, ). Revadi et al () also suggested that D. suzukii females can become inseminated within 24 h after emergence, but they do not oviposit until 2.5 days following emergence.…”

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), the spotted wing drosophila, is a pest endemic to Southeast Asia that invaded the Americas and Europe in 2008. In contrast to most of its congeners, D. suzukii possesses a serrated ovipositor that allows it to lay eggs in unwounded commercial fruits, resulting in severe revenue losses for the industry. The purpose of this study was to determine the susceptibility of known host fruits, including cherry, strawberry, blueberry, and grape, and potential host fruits, such as banana and apple, to attack by D. suzukii. Based on the responses to volatile cues offered in a six‐choice olfactometer, the preference of female D. suzukii was ranked in the following order: strawberry = cherry > banana = apple = blueberry = grape, but in no‐choice and choice oviposition tests, the preferences were ranked as follows: cherry > strawberry = blueberry > grape = banana > apple. Furthermore, we reconfirmed that D. suzukii mainly targets rotten fruit for feeding and ripe fruit for oviposition, and females preferred fruits with intensive mechanical damage. Based on developmental parameters, apple was the least suitable host. This study has implications for the control of D. suzukii, especially in mixed fruit orchards, by providing a promising avenue for exploiting behaviour‐based control tools and emphasizing the importance of phenology in host fruit susceptibility.

“…Such a durable mark would imply possible use in MR or MRR studies on long-distance migration or overwintering capacities/behaviour. It is noted that the longevity of the flies in our study is comparable to that in other laboratory studies at similar temperatures and high humidity [104][105][106], even with only sugar water available. In the present study, 3-to 7-day-old flies were marked, which is deemed to be a physiologically relevant age for the use in MRR studies, as the flies are already sexually mature and mated at this point.…”

The marking of Drosophila suzukii can be an important instrument for studying the ecology and behaviour of this economically important fruit pest, aiding the development of new Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tools or strategies. There is, however, a need for a cost-effective methodology that provides an easily detectable and stable mark. Whereas fluorescent pigment powders are often used in entomological research, the pigments (series, dyes), application techniques, or doses need to be evaluated for each studied species in terms of their efficacy and possible adverse effects on the performance of the insect. The effectiveness of different application techniques and dyes (RadGlo ® TP-series) and their effect on the survival of adult D. suzukii were investigated in the laboratory. Furthermore, the influence of the marking on the behaviour of the flies was examined in laboratory trap assays (olfaction) and a field recapture study (general orientation). The persistence and detectability of the marks was evaluated both on living flies (for different application techniques) and dead flies under trapping/storage conditions. The use of fluorescent powders to mark D. suzukii flies yielded a clearly detectable and highly persistent mark, without any adverse effects on the survival and behaviour of the flies. Insects 2020, 11, 152 2 of 20The spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae), native to Asia [5][6][7], has become a worldwide invasive pest of soft-skinned fruit crops over the last decade [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Studies on the ecology and behaviour of the species can yield new insights allowing the improvement or development of management strategies. Various methods for marking D. suzukii flies have been proposed and further optimised. An immunomarking technique (i.e., the use of proteins as markers and detection by enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assays (ELISA) [15]) for both topical application and acquisition of residues on leaves was tested and optimised by Klick et al. in a series of laboratory and semi-field experiments [16]. What makes this technique unique is that vast areas can be sprayed with inexpensive proteins and that detection by ELISA is fairly sensitive to the acquisition of leaf residues. The disadvantages of immunomarking are the possibility of both false positives and false negatives [17], the need for individual analyses of specimens, and the costs and labour required for detection. Trace elements and stable isotopes can be administered to plants to act as systemic markers for herbivorous insects, an approach that was evaluated for D. suzukii with Rb and 15 N. [18]. The added value of these systemic markers lies in the fact that larvae are self-marked while developing inside the host fruits, enabling the linkage of captured adults to their source of larval development [18]. Methods of self-marking are particularly interesting for MC studies in which whole areas or plants are marked, instead of marking the (captured/reared) insects before release. For MR and M...

“…With an average generation time of ca. 4 weeks under favorable conditions, this pest can produce 7–15 generations per cropping season if uncontrolled, resulting in an explosive population growth (Cini et al, 2012; Lin et al, 2014). Yield losses caused by D. suzukii attacks can vary from negligible to over 90% (Bolda et al, 2010; Berry, 2012).…”

Strawberry Accessions with Reduced Drosophila suzukii Emergence From Fruits

et al. 2016

Drosophila suzukii is threatening soft fruit production worldwide due to the females’ ability to pierce through the intact skin of ripe fruits and lay eggs inside. Larval consumption and the associated microbial infection cause rapid fruit degradation, thus drastic yield and economic loss. Cultivars that limit the proliferation of flies may be ideal to counter this pest; however, they have not yet been developed or identified. To search for potential breeding material, we investigated the rate of adult D. suzukii emergence from individual fruits (fly emergence) of 107 accessions of Fragaria species that had been exposed to egg-laying D. suzukii females. We found significant variation in fly emergence across strawberries, which correlated with accession and fruit diameter, and to a lesser extent with the strawberry species background. We identified accessions with significantly reduced fly emergence, not explained by their fruit diameter. These accessions constitute valuable breeding material for strawberry cultivars that limit D. suzukii spread.
