“…All lures tended to capture more females than males as expected because females are more attracted to proteinaceous sources as these substances are required for egg maturation (Hendrichs et al 1991). This tendency has also been observed in other tephritid species trapped using food-based lures (Díaz-Fleischer et al 2014) including other Anastrepha species (Aluja et al 1989;Conway & Forrester 2007;Lasa et al 2014a;Martínez et al 2007). The response of A. serpentina to CeraTrap over the 6 wk period in the 1st experiment clearly indicated the stability and durability of this lure, as previously reported in this region (Lasa et al 2015).…”

“…Therefore, experimental flies were expected to be less responsive to sources of protein. Dietary history and age (an indicator of reproductive state) are physiological factors influencing the response of female fruit flies to food and host odors (Kendra et al, 2005b; Díaz‐Fleischer et al, 2014; Vargas et al, 2018). The extent to which physiological state (age, hunger, and mating status) influences the response of female fruit flies to trub and grape juice, and their interactions with ammonium acetate warrants further investigation.…”

Attraction of tephritid fruit flies to some food sources can be enhanced by the presence of ammonia derivatives, compounds that are perceived as volatile cues for protein-rich food sources. Using a comparative approach, we (1) evaluated the behavioral responses of females of three invasive fruit fly species, Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) cucurbitae (Coquillett), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (all Diptera: Tephritidae) to trub (a protein-rich waste brewer's yeast product generated during the production of beer), Concord grape juice (a protein-deficient material), and ammonium acetate, and (2) identified synergistic and additive interactions between low-and highattractiveness materials and ammonium acetate. We established the attractiveness of fresh trub, grape juice, and ammonium acetate when tested singly to females of all three fly species. Although ammonium acetate did not enhance significantly the response of females of any species to fresh trub, the most attractive material, ammonium acetate, did significantly enhance females' level of response to aged trub (a comparatively less attractive material) and to grape juice. Our research found a synergistic interaction between diluted grape juice and ammonium acetate for B. cucurbitae, as well as between aged trub and ammonium acetate for B. dorsalis. For C. capitata, additive effects among food attractants and ammonium acetate were identified. Our findings increase our understanding of fruit fly female olfactory-driven behavior in response to food-based materials and the extent to which ammonium acetate modulates female response to protein-rich and protein-deficient materials.

“…A second hypothesis is that males become less attracted to papaya bait between bird breeding seasons. Although field studies in Galapagos have confirmed that young and old males are attracted to yeasts and fermenting fruits [18,26], it is possible that males outside the bird breeding season need less food or seek a different food than females, as occurs with some muscid, calliphorid and tephritid fruit flies [27,28,29].…”

Population dynamics of an invasive bird parasite, Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae), in the Galapagos Islands

et al. 2019

The invasive parasitic fly, Philornis downsi (Muscidae), is one of the greatest threats to the avifauna of the Galapagos Islands. The larvae of this fly feed on the blood and tissues of developing nestlings of at least 18 endemic and native birds. The aim of the current study was to investigate biotic and abiotic factors that may influence the population dynamics of this invasive parasite. To study the influence of vegetation zone and related climatic factors on fly numbers, a bi-weekly monitoring program using papaya-baited traps was carried out at a dry, lowland site and at a humid, highland site on Santa Cruz Island between 2012–2014. Female flies, a large proportion of which were inseminated and gravid, were collected throughout the year at both sites, indicating females were active during and between the bird breeding seasons. This is the first evidence that female flies are able to persist even when hosts are scarce. On the other hand, catch rates of male flies declined between bird breeding seasons. Overall, catch rates of P. downsi were higher in the drier, lowland habitat, which may be a consequence of host or resource availability. Time was a stronger predictor of adult fly numbers than climate, further suggesting that P. downsi does not appear to be limited by its environment, but rather by host availability. Seasonal catch rates suggested that populations in both habitats were continuous and multivoltine. Numbers of adult female flies appeared to be regulated chiefly by simple direct density dependence, and may be governed by availability of bird nests with nestlings. Nevertheless, confounding factors such as the existence of reservoir hosts that perpetuate fly populations and changes in behavior of P. downsi may increase the vulnerability of bird hosts that are already IUCN red-listed or in decline.
