“…Another amazonian tree species, Spondias mombin L. (Anacardiaceae), has also shown considerable potential as a fruit fly parasitoid reservoir plant, with reported parasitism rates of up to 40% of fruit fly puparia (Cunha et al, 2011;Sousa et al, 2014;Adaime, 2016;Almeida et al, 2016). From both an economic and biological control perspective it would be valuable to evaluate the potential of S. mombin to serve as a parasitoid reservoir and, by extension, contribute to biological control of tephritids in the region Adaime, Lima & Sousa, 2018).…”

Fruit flies are economically important pests that infest a wide variety of host trees. The environmental damage caused by traditional pesticide-based control methods has prompted scientists to seek less damaging alternatives such as biological control by native species. Parasitoids, especially Braconidae species, have excellent potential as biological control agents for fruit flies, being both generalists and well distributed geographically. Native fruit trees that support medium or high levels of these parasitoids could therefore play an important role in biological control strategies. A good potential example is Spondias mombin L. in the Brazilian Amazon, which hosts several species of fruit flies and associated parasitoids. Here, we provide a unique synthesis of over nearly two decades of data from the east Amazon, clearly demonstrating the potential of S. mombin to act as a source and reservoir of fruit fly parasitoids. This important ecosystem service (biological control) provided by the parasitoids and supported by S. mombin could be further enhanced through conservation of this plant species in its natural environment.

“…In numerous occasions, such insect-plant biological interactions were recorded for the first time [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. There are few systematic studies on trophic interactions between frugivorous tephritids and their host plants in natural environments in the Americas [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], unlike those carried out in agroecosystems where only a few fruit fly species are found associated with cultivated fruits [ 22 , 23 ]. There is an implicit depletion of these natural systems, in terms of both taxonomic richness and host-fruit fly interactions, due to the introduction of non-native fruit trees to the Americas, where they have recently experienced a trophic adaptation and new herbivore/parasitoid interactions.…”

Over a two–year period, we surveyed natural areas of the Mayan rainforest in Quintana Roo, Mexico. We found 11 species of Anastrepha Schiner (Diptera: Tephritidae) infesting 25 species of fruits belonging to ten plant families. We report the first records of 10 host plant species of the genus Anastrepha, which include the first report of a plant family (Putranjivaceae) serving as host of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) infesting Drypetes lateriflora (Sw.) Krug and Urb. (Putranjivaceae). Pouteria reticulata (Engl.) Eyma (Sapotaceae) was found, for the first time, to be infested by Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann) and by a new undescribed species of Anastrepha. We also report Casimiroa microcarpa Lundell (Rutaceae) as a possible ancestral host for the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens (Loew), in Central America. The family Sapotaceae was the best-represented host group with three fruit fly species recovered: A. serpentina, an economically-important species, found in eight host plants, and A. hamata and A. sp. (new species). We recorded six species of koinobiont parasitoids: Doryctobracon areolatus Szepligeti, Utetes (Bracanastrepha) anastrephae Viereck, Opius hirtus Fisher, and Doryctobracon zeteki Musebeck, (all Braconidae), and Aganaspis pelleranoi (Brethés) and Odontosema anastrephae Borgmeier, (both Figitidae). All these parasitoid species represent at least a new report for their host plants. Of the whole parasitoid community, D. areolatus was the most important parasitoid species with 52.7% of presence in 12 host plant species, parasitizing six fruit fly species. The interaction between fruit flies and their parasitoids with host plants depends on fruit availability, which is crucial for the survival of each of these species. Conserving the landscape of the Mayan rainforest is important not only for species conservation, but also for the maintenance of fruit fly host plants in orchard agroecosystems in southeastern Mexico.
