“…Captures varied by trapping system but also by week, corroborating previous results that widely variable winter temperatures over a few days (e.g. minimum 0.2 °C on 24 January 2016 to maximum 25.5 °C on 26 January 2016) may affect D. suzukii populations . We found that adult D. suzukii emerged from just two fruiting plant species collected along strawberry field edges, suggesting that low availability of suitable non‐crop hosts may also be an important limiting factor for D. suzukii populations during Florida winters.…”

Florida strawberry is at risk of D. suzukii infestation, as flies were captured throughout the growing season. However, fly captures remained relatively low, peaking at 1.5 flies per trap per day. In central Florida, the low availability and suitability of non-crop hosts likely limit population growth. The finding of few flies in northern Florida may additionally be attributable to a greater proportion of flies displaying winter morph coloration than in central Florida. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…Although two of the three detected species (D. suzukii and D. immigrans) were characterized as alien to Europe (Skuhravá et al, 2010) the dominance of cosmopolitan and native species, D. simulans, indicates that invasive species have not suppressed indigenous species in its habitat. The similar results were not reported in Europe but were reported in 2013 on Florida in which the dominance of indigenous species (D. melanogaster) over the invasive one (D. suzukii) was confirmed (Dean et al, 2013).…”

“…The development of two drosophilid species on strawberries, D. suzukii and D. melanogaster, was reported in 2013 on Florida (Dean et al, 2013). Although D. melanogaster was not found in this study, we recorded its sibling species, D. simulans, which appears regularly in semidomestic habitats (Kekić, 2002).…”

“…From each cultivar 50 samples (five replications represented with 10 fruits of each cultivar) of fully ripened fruit were randomly selected for possible fly damage from both the field edges and its centre equally. Sampled fruit were taken to the Entomological Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture and placed into a chamber for insect development (air temperature of 24°C and relative humidity of 60%), following a standardized procedure (Dean et al, 2013). Each fruit was separated into a 200-mL plastic cup containing a 2-cm layer of coarse Vermiculite ® .…”

“…According to Takahashi and Kimura (2005), interspeciÞc larval interactions are essentially competitive.

Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an agricultural pest with a wide host range. It is known to infest fruit that are still ripening on the plant, as well as rotting and damaged fruit. Our study sought to determine whether D. suzukii use mulberries (Morus spp.) and figs (Ficus carica (L.)) as hosts, as their host status was ambiguous. Accordingly, we collected 25 field-infested fruit and counted the numbers of D. suzukii emerging from them. We also sought to determine whether female D. suzukii would respond to olfactory cues from ripe figs and mulberries. As the host population has been known to impact host odor response, flies from mulberry, fig, and cherry origins were tested in "one-choice" olfactometry studies. Our results show that mulberries and figs can serve as hosts for D. suzukii and that female flies will respond to their odors. The host population did affect response to fruit odors, although further studies are necessary to determine habitat fidelity. This has implications for management of this pest, especially in backyard and mixed fruit orchard situations, which commonly occur in the current range of D. suzukii, and fig and mulberry may serve as a pest reservoir for other hosts and cultivated crops.
