“…The effects of male sterility on female remating vary among fruit fly species. Sterile males of A. serpentina and C. capitata are less likely to inhibit female remating (Gavriel et al., ; Landeta‐Escamilla et al., ), while no difference was found for A. fraterculus , Anastrepha ludens (Loew, 1873), B. cucurbitae and B. tryoni (Abraham et al., , ; Arredondo, Tejeda, Ruiz, Meza, & Pérez‐Staples, ; Haq et al., ; Radhakrishnan et al., ).…”

Female remating is a widespread behaviour, reported in several insect species. This behaviour can affect the efficiency of sterile insect technique (SIT); however, little is known about the postcopulatory behaviour of some pest species considered as candidates to be controlled by this technique, such as Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae). In this study, we investigated the effects of male and female sterilization on mating and remating behaviour of D. suzukii. First, we tested the occurrence of multiple mating in different combinations between sterile and fertile males and females. Then, we tested the effects of male and female sterility on female propensity to mate and remate. We found an overall low remating rate by D. suzukii females. Male sterility did not influence mating and remating likelihood; however, copula duration of sterile males was shorter compared to fertile males. On the other hand, sterile females were less likely to mate. Our findings encourage further research regarding the use of SIT to control D. suzukii.

Sexual Selection on Leks: A Fruit Fly Primer

Lek mating systems are relatively rare but occur in a diverse taxonomic array of animals, including birds, mammals, anurans, and insects. Such systems exhibit four features: 1) males provide no parental care and supply only gametes; 2) males are spatially aggregated at mating arenas (or leks); 3) males do not control access to resources critical to females; and 4) females are free to select mates at the arena. Among insects, fruit flies of the families Tephritidae and Drosophilidae display lek behavior that closely resembles the ‘classic’ lek mating systems of vertebrate species. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of empirical findings on lek-forming tephritid and drosophilid flies. The essay is organized around a series of 19 questions, the first six of which provide background information on fruit fly leks. These questions deal with the location, persistence, and size of leks as well as pheromonal attraction of females and the nature of male–male aggression. The remaining questions touch on broader issues that are common to the study of lekking species regardless of taxonomic affiliation. For example, these questions concern skewed mating distributions among males, male signals important in female choice, the importance of male aggression and signaling position in affecting male mating success, the possibility of male choice, costs to males associated with lek displays, and evidence of direct and indirect benefits to females resulting from mate selection etc. Reflecting data availability, emphasis is on precopulatory mate choice, sperm competition and female cryptic choice are briefly addressed.

“…For C. capitata , the sterilizing doses under normoxia are between 70 and 100 Gy, while under hypoxia they have been estimated at between 90 and 160 Gy [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ]. In the genus Anastrepha , pupae from A. ludens and Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) can be sterilized under hypoxia with 70–80 Gy, but under normoxia lower doses are required for the same species (i.e., 30–40 Gy and 40–60 Gy, respectively) [ 44 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ]. For A. suspensa , the sterilizing doses under normal and low-oxygen conditions are 50 and 70 Gy, respectively [ 13 , 15 ].…”

A common strategy used to maintain sterile fly quality without sacrificing sterility is to irradiate the insects under an oxygen-reduced atmosphere. So far, sterilizing doses for the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus have only been determined under normoxia. Our study reports for the first time the dose-sterility response under hypoxia for two different A. fraterculus strains. The pupae were derived from a bisexual strain (a Brazilian-1 population) and a recently developed genetic sexing strain (GSS-89). Two hours prior to irradiation, pupae were transferred to sealed glass bottles and irradiated when oxygen concentration was below 3%. Four types of crosses with nonirradiated flies of the bisexual strain were set to assess sterility for each radiation dose. For males from both strains, Weibull dose–response curves between radiation doses and the proportion of egg hatch, egg-to-pupa recovery, and recovery of adults were determined. The GSS males revealed high sterility/mortality levels compared to males from the bisexual strain at doses < 40 Gy, but a dose of 74 Gy reduced egg hatch by 99% regardless of the male strain and was considered the sterilizing dose. The fertility of irradiated females was severely affected even at low doses under hypoxia.
