“…Corrugated cardboard rolls were placed on the food sur-face to provide sites for pupation, and glass tubes containing water and fitted with filterpaper wicks were provided to enable adults to drink (Burges & Haskins, 1965). Each jar was covered with a filter paper sealed down with paraffin wax and over this a cover of phosphor-bronze gauze was secured to prevent mature larvae from escaping by chewing through the filter paper (Cox, 1974). Cultures were kept in a room where the environment was maintained at 25 ± 1°C and 70 ± 5% RH, monitored by thermohygrographs, and the light regime of LD16:8 was controlled by a Venerette 24-h time switch.…”

“…About 50 freshly emerged adults were removed from stock cultures with a suction tube of 4 mm internal diameter connected to a vacuum of approximately 01 kg/cm 2 and placed in a 15-cm plastic sieve held over a glass dish. The sieve was closed with another glass dish bearing a cotton wool pad dampened with deionised water and kept at 25°C, 70?/ o RH and LD16:8 (Cox, 1974). The moths were able to drink from the pad and to lay eggs through the sieve.…”

The development of a stock of Corcyra cephalonica (Stnt.) from Burma was followed carefully on a diet of wheatfeed, glycerol and yeast at constant temperatures ranging from 15 to 37°C and humidities from 15 to 90% RH. Two other stocks, from Nigeria and Malawi, were also studied under a few conditions. Limits for complete development from egg hatch to adult emergence were about 17 and 35°C at 70% RH. At 15°C, all larvae died early in development, but at 37 -5°C a few managed to pupate. Highest survival and most rapid development occurred at 30-3 2-5 °C and 70% RH. Development was completed in the range 15-80% RH, but few adults emerged at 15% RH and none at 90% RH unless a mouldinhibitor was present in the food. No second-generation larvae were obtained from adults reared and kept at 20°C and 70% RH. Egg period was influenced by temperature but not by humidity in the range 20-80% ,RH. Eggs hatched at temperatures from 175 to 325 C C. Hatch was adversely affected by low humidity, and very few hatched at 20% RH. Considerable variation in the rate of egg hatch between the three stocks may have been due to differences in the length of time each stock had been reared in the laboratory. Cold tolerance of eggs of the Nigerian stock was low. All eggs died at 10°C after a seven-day exposure, and at 15°C, although a few 0-1-day-old eggs exposed for 14 days hatched, none completed development to the adult stage. Although older eggs were slightly more cold-tolerant than younger ones at 10°C, they were less so at 15°C. Adult males tended to emerge earlier and live longer than unmated females. Adults of the recently collected Malawi stock were heavier and lived longer than those of the Burma stock that had been reared in the laboratory for many generations.

“…The raisin moth, Cadra (= Ephestia ) figulilella (Gregson) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is one of the most economically important worldwide pests of fresh and stored fruits [ 1 ]. The raisin moth can attack ripening or overripe fruits (e.g., freshly harvested carobs, dates, figs, grapes) as well as stored dried fruits and nuts (e.g., cashew kernels, cacao beans, apricots kernels, raisins) [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. In addition to the damage caused by direct feeding, raisin moth larvae can also cause indirect damage by leaving many crumbs and webs in the fruit, which in combination can negatively affect 50% of fruit production, causing serious economic losses [ 1 ].…”

Current and Potential Future Global Distribution of the Raisin Moth Cadra figulilella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) under Two Different Climate Change Scenarios

Global trade facilitates the introduction of invasive species that can cause irreversible damage to agriculture and the environment, as well as stored food products. The raisin moth (Cadra figulilella) is an invasive pest that poses a significant threat to fruits and dried foods. Climate change may exacerbate this threat by expanding moth’s distribution to new areas. In this study, we used CLIMEX and MaxEnt niche modeling tools to assess the potential global distribution of the raisin moth under current and future climate change scenarios. Our models projected that the area of suitable distribution for the raisin moth could increase by up to 36.37% by the end of this century under high emission scenario. We also found that excessive precipitation decreases probability of raisin moth establishment and that the optimum temperature range for the species during the wettest quarter of the year is 0–18 °C. These findings highlight the need for future research to utilize a combined modeling approach to predict the distribution of the raisin moth under current and future climate conditions more accurately. Our results could be used for environmental risk assessments, as well as to inform international trade decisions and negotiations on phytosanitary measures with regards to this invasive species.

Bağ yetiştiriciliğinde üretimi sınırlandıran en önemli etmenlerin başında salkımlarda zarar yapan zararlılar gelmektedir. Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Akdeniz ve Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgelerinde salkımlarda zarar yapan en önemli tür olarak bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmayla Akdeniz ve Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgelerinde salkımlardaki zararlı diğer Lepidoptera türleri saptanmıştır. Yapılan örneklemelerde L. botrana, Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Milliere) ve Cadra figulilella (Gregson) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) türleri tespit edilmiştir. Akdeniz Bölgesi'nde L. botrana ve C. gnidiella, Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde ise L. botrana ve C. figulilella türlerine rastlanmıştır. L. botrana bölgede en yaygın tür olup C. gnidiella turunçgil üretim alanlarına yakın bahçelerde, C. figulilella ise daha çok yere dökülmüş veya sık salkımlara sahip çeşitlerin bulunduğu bağ alanlarında saptanmıştır.
