Shared senior authors and corresponding authors. y Received: 13 November 2019; Accepted: 10 December 2019; Published: 15 December 2019 Abstract: Sustainable pest control requires a systems approach, based on a thorough ecological understanding of an agro-ecosystem. Such fundamental understanding provides a basis for developing strategies to manipulate the pest’s behaviour, distribution, and population dynamics, to be employed for crop protection. This review focuses on the fundamental knowledge required for the development of an effective push-pull approach. Push-pull is a strategy to repel a pest from a crop, while attracting it toward an external location. It often relies on infochemicals (e.g., pheromones or allelochemicals) that are relevant in the ecology of the pest insect and can be exploited as lure or repellent. Importantly, responsiveness of insects to infochemicals is dependent on both the insect’s internal physiological state and external environmental conditions. This context-dependency reflects the integration of cues from different sensory modalities, the effect of mating and/or feeding status, as well as diurnal or seasonal rhythms. Furthermore, when the costs of responding to an infochemical outweigh the benefits, resistance can rapidly evolve.

Tambones1, Annabelle Haudry2, Maryanna C. Simão1 and Claudia M. A. Carareto1* Abstract Background: The use of large-scale genomic analyses has resulted in an improvement of transposable element sampling and a significant increase in the number of reported HTT (horizontal transfer of transposable elements) events by expanding the sampling of transposable element sequences in general and of specific families of these elements in particular, which were previously poorly sampled. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of HTT events in a group of elements that, until recently, were uncommon among the HTT records in Drosophila – the Jockey elements, members of the LINE (long interspersed nuclear element) order of non-LTR (long terminal repeat) retrotransposons. The sequences of 111 Jockey families deposited in Repbase that met the criteria of the analysis were used to identify Jockey sequences in 48 genomes of Drosophilidae (genus Drosophila, subgenus Sophophora: melanogaster, obscura and willistoni groups; subgenus Drosophila: immigrans, melanica, repleta, robusta, virilis and grimshawi groups; subgenus Dorsilopha: busckii group; genus/subgenus Zaprionus and genus Scaptodrosophila). Results: Phylogenetic analyses revealed 72 Jockey families in 41 genomes. Combined analyses revealed 15 potential HTT events between species belonging to different

    Terrestrial Arthropod Survey of Hālona Valley, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, August 2020–November 2020 Neal L. Evenhuis, Keith T. Arakaki, Clyde T. Imada Hawaii Biological Survey Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817, USA Final Report prepared for the U.S. Navy Contribution No. 2021-003 to the Hawaii Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bishop Museum was contracted by the U.S. Navy to conduct surveys of terrestrial arthropods in Hālona Valley, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, in order to assess the status of populations of three groups of insects, including species at risk in those groups: picture-winged Drosophila (Diptera; flies), Hylaeus spp. (Hymenoptera; bees), and Rhyncogonus welchii (Coleoptera; weevils). The first complete survey of Lualualei for terrestrial arthropods was made by Bishop Museum in 1997. Since then, the Bishop Museum has conducted surveys in Hālona Valley in 2015, 2016–2017, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The current survey was conducted from August 2020 through November 2020, comprising a total of 12 trips; using yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, hand collecting, aerial net collecting, observations, vegetation beating, and a Malaise trap. The area chosen for study was a Sapindus oahuensis grove on a southeastern slope of mid-Hālona Valley. The area had potential for all three groups of arthropods to be present, especially the Rhyncogonus weevil, which has previously been found in association with Sapindus trees. Trapped and collected insects were taken back to the Bishop Museum for sorting, identification, data entry, and storage and preservation. The results of the surveys proved negative for any of the target groups.

    94 Research Notes Dros. Inf. Serv. 95 (2012) First records of Zaprionus tuberculatus (Diptera: Drosophilidae) from the Mediterranean Region, Turkey. Patlar, B.1, B. Koc,1, M. Yilmaz2, and E.D. Ozsoy1. 1Evolutionary Genetics Laboratory, University of Hacettepe, Department of Biology, 06800, Ankara, Turkey; 2Institute of Neurological Sciences And Psychiatry, University of Hacettepe, 06410, Ankara, Turkey. Introduction The drosophilid genus Zaprionus Coquillett, 1902 is classified under two subgenera, and a total of 59 species are recognized with respect to recent phylogenetic findings using molecular and morphological characters (Yassin and David, 2010). The genus Zaprionus is widespread through the African continent (Tsacas et al., 1981), and it exhibits that the most common species of the genus are Zaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970 and Zaprionus tuberculatus Malloch, 1932 with their expanded distribution to the Afrotropical region and Palearctic (Chassagnard and Tsacas, 1993). Zaprionus tuberculatus is assigned to the subgenus Zaprionus, species group inermis and species subgroup tuberculatus (Yassin, 2008). The species Z. tuberculatus commonly known as “Vinegar fly or Pomace fly,” is an Afrotropical drosophilid native to the Afrotropical region and the islands of the Indian Ocean (Chassagnard and Tsacas, 1993). It has acquired invasive capacities after the geographical expansion to the southern boundaries of Europe. Even though it is the second most widespread species especially compared with the agricultural pest Z. indianus, very little is known about its biology and ecology. The present study intends to report the first record of Zaprionus tuberculatus from the city of Adana (37.0000° N, 35.3167° E) located on the southern coast of Turkey. Based on our observations and due to the some possible similarities between the range expansions of Z.

Willbrand * and Douglas G. Pfeiffer Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech, 205C Price Hall, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-808-250-6952 Received: 27 December 2018; Accepted: 4 March 2019; Published: 20 March 2019 Abstract: Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) is an agricultural pest that has been observed co-infesting soft-skinned fruits with Zaprionus indianus Gupta. The characterization of olfactory preferences by species is a necessary step towards the development of species-specific attractants. Five olfactory attractants were used to survey the populations of two invasive drosophilids in cherimoya in Maui, Hawaii. The attractants used were apple cider vinegar (ACV), brown rice vinegar (BRV), red wine (RW), apple cider vinegar and red wine (ACV+RW; 60/40), and brown rice vinegar and red wine (BRV+RW; 60/40). For D. suzukii, BRV+RW resulted in more captures than BRV, ACV, and RW, while ACV+RW resulted in more captures than ACV. No differences were observed between BRV+RW and ACV+RW. BRV had greater specificity in attracting D. suzukii compared to ACV, ACV+RW, and RW. For Z. indianus, no significant differences were observed in either the mean captures or specificity for any attractant used. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that (1) BRV and BRV+RW are effective field attractants and (2) D. suzukii has unique olfactory preferences compared to non-target drosophilids, while (3) Z.

    9 Mosca-africana-do-figo, Zaprionus indianus Gupta C. R. Vilela, B. Goñi INTRODUÇÃO o início de 1999, época da safra de figos Ficus( carica L.; Moraceae) de mesa do cultivar roxo-de-valinhos, no município de Valinhos, SP, foi constatada Na presença de grande quantidade de pequenas moscas alimentando-se e fazendo posturas na região do ostíolo dos frutos (Vilela, Teixeira & Stein, 2001, Fi- gura 7.1) em início de maturação, quando é realizada a colheita. Grande quantidade de larvas também foi observada dentro de alguns frutos, tornando-os impróprios para o consumo humano. A análise do material (figos infestados e adultos fixados em etanol 70%), enviado primeiro ao Centro de Fitossanidade (Entomologia) do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, SP, e posteriormente ao então Departamento de Biologia do Instituto de Biociências da Universidade de São Paulo, permitiu identificar as moscas como pertencentes a uma espécie da família Drosophilidae, de origem africana e conhecida cientificamente porZaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970. A espécie invasora, que não é considerada uma praga em sua região de origem, aparentemente chegou ao Estado de São Paulo no final de 1998, de forma acidental (Vilela, 1999). Entretanto, devido às condições favoráveis, esse drosofilídeo africano atingiu o status de praga dos figos na principal área produtora desse estado. Por essa razão, Vilela, Teixeira e Stein (2001) propuseram o termo mosca-africana- 173 〉 PRAGAS INTRODUZIDAS NO BRASIL: INSETOS E ÁCAROS -do-figo para designar popularmente no Brasil a nova praga (Vilela et al., 1999). Convém salientar que o termo fig fly (Lachaise & McEvey, 1990) também é utilizado para designar as espécies africanas do gênero Lissocephala, as quais, ao contrário da espécie polífaga e oportunista Z.

  • Drosophila Information Service
    Drosophila Information Service Number 92 December 2009 Prepared at the Department of Zoology University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 U.S.A. ii DIS 92 (December 2009) Preface Drosophila Information Service celebrates its 75th birthday with this issue. DIS was first printed in March, 1934. Material contributed by Drosophila workers was arranged by C.B. Bridges and M. Demerec. As noted in its preface, which is reprinted in DIS 75 (1994), Drosophila Information Service was undertaken because, “An appreciable share of credit for the fine accomplishments in Drosophila genetics is due to the broadmindedness of the original Drosophila workers who established the policy of a free exchange of material and information among all actively interested in Drosophila research. This policy has proved to be a great stimulus for the use of Drosophila material in genetic research and is directly responsible for many important contributions.” During the 75 years since that first issue, DIS has continued to promote open communication. The production of DIS volume 92 could not have been completed without the generous efforts of many people. Robbie Stinchcomb, Carol Baylor, and Clay Hallman maintained key records and helped distribute copies and respond to questions. Carol Baylor was also especially helpful in generating pdf copies of early articles in response to many dozens of individual researcher “reprint” requests. Beginning with volume 84 (2001), the official annual publication date is 31 December, with the contents including all submissions accepted during the calendar year. New issues are available for free access on our web page (www.ou.edu/journals/dis) soon after publication, and earlier issues are being archived on this site as resources permit.
