We report the results of long-term collecting efforts conducted mainly in the western Amazon region of Peru, and in Bolivia, Ecuador, Suriname, French Guiana, and Panama. Host plant and distribution records are documented for 55 plant species associated with 40 species of Anastrepha Schiner belonging to 15 species groups or unassigned to a group. We document new host records or provide detail for records recently reported in the literature with limited information and also describe the larval feeding modes within the fruit. This contributes to a better understanding of the biology of Anastrepha, facilitates phylogenetic analysis, and develops identification tools for the genus. We provide a synopsis of native host plants by Anastrepha species groups to compare the range of host plants within these groups. We report 25 plant species as hosts for the first time for 22 Anastrepha species and new distribution records for 18 Anastrepha species. We provide photographs of the fruit injury caused by larvae of 31 Anastrepha species. We report two larval feeding modes: 23 species are pulp feeders in 21 native and four exotic host plants, 11 species are seed feeders in 12 native host plants, and four species feed on both pulp and seeds of three native host plants. We report the first host plant record, two species of Sapotaceae, for the speciosa group, which is among the most ancestral clades of Anastrepha. We present and discuss our results in evolutionary terms following the most recently inferred Anastrepha phylogeny.

“…Traps were placed in trees when cherries were ripe, from June to July in introduced cherries and from July to September in bitter cherries, presumably when ßies had maximum egg loads. Sticky yellow rectangles of 14 by 23 cm (Tré cé , Adair, OK) that were not baited or baited with ammonium carbonate or ammonium acetate were placed one per tree in 1) sweet and tart cherry trees in central Washington (Yakima and Ellensburg, 25 June to 16 July 2002); 2) bitter cherry trees in central Washington (Nile Valley) and western Washington (Vancouver, 28 August to 7 September 2009); 3) sweet and tart cherry trees in Montana (Flathead Lake and Finley Point, June and July 2007, and 2009); and 4) bitter cherry trees in Montana (Flathead Lake and Finley Point, July to September 2006September , 2007September , and 2008. For each of the four host-site treatments, there were three to seven trees (replicates).…”

The western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, infests introduced, domesticated sweet [Prunus avium (L.) L.], and tart cherries (Prunus cerasus L.) as well as native bitter cherry, Prunus emarginata (Douglas) Eaton. Bitter cherries are smaller than sweet and tart cherries and this could affect various life history traits of flies. The objectives of the current study were to determine 1) if body size and egg loads of flies infesting sweet, tart, and bitter cherries differ from one another; and 2) if any observed body size differences are genetically based or caused by the host fruit environment. Pupae and adults of both sexes reared from larval-infested sweet and tart cherries collected in Washington and Montana were larger than those reared from bitter cherries. In addition, flies of both sexes caught on traps in sweet and tart cherry trees were larger than those caught in bitter cherry trees and females trapped from sweet and tart cherry trees had 54.0-98.8% more eggs. The progeny of flies from naturally-infested sweet and bitter cherries reared for one generation in the laboratory on sweet cherry did not differ in size. The same also was true for progeny of sweet and bitter cherry flies reared in the field on bitter cherry. The results suggest that the larger body sizes of flies from sweet and tart cherries than bitter cherries in the field are caused by host fruit and not genetic factors.

“…A. curvicauda females obtained from mature C. papaya fruits [33] are heavier than those obtained from J. mexicana fruits [36], and females are heavier than males, but longevity on both hosts is similar for the two sexes [35,36]. Heavier females produce more corionated eggs than lighter ones, thus providing more reproductive benefits to their partner than the light ones [33,34]. A. curvicauda males establish a hierarchy where dominant males achieve most mating over subordinates [37], and mated males reduce their courtship vigor index [38].…”

“…Carica papaya is the economically important host of A. curvicauda [27], and there are other hosts such as Jacaratia mexicana (Caricaceae) [28] and Gonolobus sororius (Asclepiadacea) [29]. A. curvicauda biology has been studied under field [25,27,30,31] and laboratory conditions [32][33][34][35][36][37]. Males arrive at papaya fruits before females and release their sexual pheromone (calling behavior) while perching on the fruit or leave.…”

Sexual selection determines the evolution of the species by favoring some attributes that confer a reproductive advantage to those individuals with those attributes. Tephritidae flies do not always select the same traits when looking for a mating partner. Some aspects of the mating system of Anastrepha curvicauda are known; nevertheless, there is no information on the effect of age, size, and virginity when selecting a mating partner. We set up a series of experiments where a selector (male or female) may select between (a) an old or young partner, (b) a small or large partner, and (c) a virgin or mated partner. Males of A. curvicauda significantly preferred large, young, and virgin females, while females showed no preference for high- or low-quality males. The females’ non-preference for a particular male is discussed in the light of their mating system.
