“…According to observations of this author, R. cerasi make longer flights only when they cannot satisfy their physiological needs. Wiesmann (1935b) and Leski (1963) estimated that maximum adult mobility was 300 and 350 m in their respective researches. Boller (1969) determined in targeted experiments that 82% of adults had returned from 100 m distance, while only 0.7% returned from a distance of 500 m. However, laboratory tests showed that adults were capable of flying several kilometers within 24 hours when in need (Remund and Boller, 1975).…”

“…Pupae overwinter in soil at 2-5 cm depth, sometimes even in the surface layer under a host plant canopy. Pupal development and timing of adult emergence depend on soil temperature, altitude and latitude, incline and type of soil, soil plant cover and other environmental factors (Thiem, 1934;Wiesmann, 1934b;Mitić-Mužina, 1960;Leski, 1963;Kovanci and Kovanci, 2006). Also, the timing of adult emergence is determined by the host plant from which the pupae originated (Thiem, 1940;Boller and Bush, 1974;Haisch and Forster, 1975;Ranner, 1988a), and by temperature during winter diapause (Wiesmann, 1950;Haisch, 1975;Haisch and Chwala, 1979).…”

“…Flies usually feed in the morning and rest on the back of leaves during the night and the period of daytime inactivity (Haisch and Forster, 1975). The duration of pre-oviposition is strongly dependent on temperature and lasts from six to 13 days (Wiesmann, 1935b;Bohm, 1949;Leski, 1963). Boller (1966a) recorded a pre-ovipostion period lasting six and 10 days at 23°C and 18°C, respectively.…”

“…Adult activity depends on weather conditions, and the highest mobility is recorded during warm, sunny days with low relative humidity (Sprengel and Sonntag, 1932). On rainy days, most flies stay hidden in the grass and under the trees, while rare individuals remain in the hidden parts of tree canopy (Wiesmann, 1934b).…”

“…The first group of insecticides, including the most important pyrethrin, rotenone and lead arsenate, was assessed in combination with food baits for adult flies (Berlese, 1906;Sprengel, 1932b;Wiesmann, 1934b). Pyrethin and rotenone were not found to have satisfactory efficacy, while lead arsenate, due to its high toxicity to humans and the environment, was not considered an acceptable solution in most European countries (Sprengel, 1932a).…”

SUMMARYThe European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest in sweet and sour cherry orchards with a distribution area throughout Europe and the temperate regions of Asia. It occurs regularly in all production regions of these fruit species in Serbia, damaging up to 10% of cherries in commercial production, while damage can go up to 100% in orchards and on solitary threes unprotected by control measures.In Serbia, European cherry fruit fly most often attacks and damages fruits of the lateripening cultivars of sweet cherry (Van, Stela, Hedelfinger, Bing, Lambert, Drogan's Yellow). After a sweet cherry harvest, adults migrate to sour cherry where they continue feeding and ovipositing in half-mature sour cherries (prevailingly the domestic ecotype Oblačinska). During their activity period, larvae damage the fruits, so that they can no longer be consumed either fresh or processed. The high percentage of sour cherries damaged by R. cerasi has become a factor limiting exports because the intensity of infestation of this fruit exceeds permissible limits. Pesticide use for controlling this pest, especially in integrated production, is based on a very poor selection of insecticides which cause problems with residual ecotoxicity. Consequently, alternative measures for controlling European cherry fruit fly have been intensively studied over the past few years.This work surveys up-to-date results of various studies on the European cherry fruit fly as a very important pest in Serbia and other South and Mid-European countries. The work contains detailed descriptions of its biological characteristics, flight phenology, infestation intensity and possibilities of fly control in sweet and sour cherry production areas.

The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a univoltine species that undergoes obligatory summer–winter diapause at pupal stage in the soil (2–5 cm) beneath host trees. To study the effects of photoperiod and relative humidity on diapause termination and post-winter developmental duration of R. cerasi, pupae collected from Dossenheim (Germany) were exposed to different photoperiod or relative humidity regimes during a chilling period ranging from 2 to 8.5 months. Specifically, pupae were exposed to four photoperiod regimes: (a) light conditions (24L:00D), (b) dark conditions (00L:24D), (c) short photoperiod (08L:16D) and (d) long photoperiod (16L:08D), as well as to three relative humidity regimes: (a) low (40% RH), (b) medium (60% RH) and (c) high (70–80% RH). Data revealed that relative humidity is not a significant predictor of diapause termination, but it affects the post-winter developmental period. Higher relative humidity promotes post-winter pupae development. On the other hand, photoperiod significantly affected both diapause termination and post-winter development of R. cerasi pupae. Light conditions (24L:00D) accelerate adult emergence, particularly for females. Regardless of the photoperiod (24L:00D, 00L:24D, 08L:16D), rates of adult emergence were high (>75%) for chilling intervals longer than 6.5 months. Nonetheless, exposure to a long day photoperiod (16L:08D), during chilling, dramatically reduced the proportion of adult emergence following 6 months exposure to chilling. Our findings broaden the understanding of factors regulating diapause responses in European cherry fruit fly, local adaptation and synchronization of adult emergence with the ripening period of major hosts.

To understand the evolution of local adaptation, the interplay between natural selection and gene flow should be considered. Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a patchily distributed, stenophagous species of the temperate zone, and the geographical structure of its populations reveals substantial variation in gene flow rates across its distribution range. We studied the demographic components of R. cerasi adults from Greek and German populations by estimating the variability in fitness traits among allopatric populations, as well as among geographically discrete populations, with gene flow. Assuming that body size may exert a profound effect on adult fitness, both thorax and head sizes were considered as covariates in our analyses. Our data demonstrated that females were larger than males in all populations, and adult size varied significantly among populations within groups. Significant differences in a suite of life-history traits of R. cerasi adults were detected among populations with gene flow, whereas there were no consistent differences among allopatric populations. Therefore, the genetic differences among R. cerasi populations, driven mainly by geographical isolation, are poor predictors of variation in the life-history traits of adults.
