Biological invasions bring together formerly isolated insect taxa and allow the study of ecological interactions between species with no coevolutionary history. Among polyphagous insects, such species may competitively exclude each other unless some form of niche partitioning allows them to coexist. 2. In the present study, we investigate whether the ability to exploit different fruits can increase the likelihood of coexistence of four species of polyphagous Tephritidae, one endemic and three successive invaders, in the island of La Réunion. In the laboratory, we studied the performances of all four species on the four most abundant fruit resources in the island, as well as the relative abundances of fly species on these four fruit species in the field. We observe no indication of niche partitioning for any of the four abundant fruits. 3.

  • Molecular Phylogenetics of the Genus Ceratitis (Diptera: Tephritidae)
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 38 (2006) 216–230 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Molecular phylogenetics of the genus Ceratitis (Diptera: Tephritidae) Norman B. Barr ¤, Bruce A. McPheron Department of Entomology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA Received 29 March 2005; revised 3 October 2005; accepted 5 October 2005 Abstract The Afrotropical fruit Xy genus Ceratitis MacLeay is an economically important group that comprises over 89 species, subdivided into six subgenera. Cladistic analyses of morphological and host use characters have produced several phylogenetic hypotheses for the genus. Only monophyly of the subgenera Pardalaspis and Ceratitis (sensu stricto) and polyphyly of the subgenus Ceratalaspis are common to all of these phylogenies. In this study, the hypotheses developed from morphological and host use characters are tested using gene trees pro- duced from DNA sequence data of two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome oxidase I and NADH-dehydrogenase subunit 6) and a nuclear gene (period). Comparison of gene trees indicates the following relationships: the subgenus Pardalaspis is monophyletic, subsection A of the subgenus Pterandrus is monophyletic, the subgenus Pterandrus may be either paraphyletic or polyphyletic, the subgenus Ceratalaspis is polyphyletic, and the subgenus Ceratitis s. s. might not be monophyletic. In addition, the genera Ceratitis and Trirhithrum do not form reciprocally monophyletic clades in the gene trees. Although the data statistically reject monophyly for Trirhithrum under the Shimoda- ira–Hasegawa test, they do not reject monophyly of Ceratitis. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

First Wright brothers’ airplane patent, based on their 1902 glider, is filed in America. Aug. 8, 1903. The Langley gasoline engine model airplane is successfully launched from a catapult on a houseboat. Dec. 8, 1903. Second and last trial of the Langley airplane, piloted by Charles M. Manly, is wrecked in launching from a houseboat on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. Dec. 17, 1903. At Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, N.C., Orville Wright flies for about 12 seconds over a distance of 120 feet, achieving the world’s first manned, powered, sustained, and controlled flight in a heavier-than-air machine. The Wright brothers made four flights that day. On the last, Wilbur Wright flew for 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet. (Three days earlier, Wilbur Wright had attempted the first powered flight, managing to cover 105 feet in 3.5 seconds, but he could not sustain or control the flight and crashed.)

De Meyer1*, R.S. Copeland2,3, R.A. Wharton2 & B.A. McPheron4 1Entomology Section, Koninklijk Museum voor Midden Afrika, Leuvensesteenweg 13, B-3080 Tervuren, Belgium 2Department of Entomology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, U.S.A. 3International Centre for Insect Physiology and Ecology, P.O. Box 30772, Nairobi, Kenya 4College of Agricultural Sciences, Penn State University, University Park, PA , U.S.A. The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), is a widespread species found on five continents. Evidence indicates that the species originated in the Afrotropical Region and may have spread worldwide, mainly through human activities. Historical accounts on adventive populations outside Africa date back at least 150 years. The exact geographic origin of the Medfly within Africa has been much debated. Recent research regarding phylogeny, biogeography, host plant range, and abundance of the Medfly and its congeners within the subgenus Ceratitis s.s., all support the view that the species originated in eastern Africa,possibly the Highlands,and dispersed from there. Only molecular evidence contradicts this view, with higher mitochondrial DNA diversity in western Africa, suggesting that the hypothesis of a West African origin should still be considered.

Simple Summary: Tephritid fruit flies comprise pests of high agricultural relevance and species that have emerged as global invaders. Chemical signals play key roles in multiple steps of a fruit fly’s life. The production and detection of chemical cues are critical in many behavioural interactions of tephritids, such as finding mating partners and hosts for oviposition. The characterisation of the molecules involved in these behaviours sheds light on understanding the biology and ecology of fruit flies and in addition provides a solid base for developing novel species-specific pest control tools by exploiting and/or interfering with chemical perception. Here we provide a comprehensive Citation: Scolari, F.; Valerio, F.; overview of the extensive literature on different types of chemical cues emitted by tephritids, with Benelli, G.; Papadopoulos, N.T.; a focus on the most relevant fruit fly pest species.

  • Ceratitis Cosyra (Walker) (Diptera:Tephritidae)1
    Entomology Circular No. 403 Fla. Dept. Agric. & Consumer Services November/December 2000 Division of Plant Industry Ceratitis cosyra (Walker) (Diptera:Tephritidae)1 Gary J. Steck2 INTRODUCTION: Ceratitis cosyra is commonly known as the mango fruit fly or marula fruit fly based on its common occurrence in these host plants. Marula is a native African fruit related to mango and sometimes known locally as wild plum. The fly is a serious pest in smallholder and commercial mango across sub-Saharan Africa and has been recorded in Ivory Coast, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, where it is more destructive than either the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly; Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann)) or the Natal fruit fly (Ceratitis rosa Karsch) (Malio 1979; Labuschagne et al. 1996; Javaid 1979; De Lima 1979; Rendell et al. 1995; Lux et al. 1998). Its impact is growing along with the more widespread commercialization of mango in these countries. Late maturing varieties of mango suffer most in Zambia (Javaid 1986). In Ivory Coast, C. cosyra and Ceratitis anonae Graham are the main pests in guava (N’Guetta 1993). Ceratitis cosyra, as larvae in infested mangoes from Africa, is one of the most commonly intercepted fruit flies in Europe (I. M. White, The Natural History Museum, London, personal communication). Fruit flies known as Ceratitis giffardi Bezzi and Ceratitis sarcocephali (Bezzi) may be the same as C. cosyra, but the taxonomy remains ambiguous (De Meyer 1998). DESCRIPTION: Body and wing color yellowish; sides and posterior of thorax prominently ringed with black spots, dorsum yellowish except for two tiny black spots centrally and two larger black spots near scutellum; scutellum with three wide, black stripes separated by narrow yellow stripes; wing length 4-6 mm, costal band and discal crossband joined; see Fig.
