Fruit flies are the main pests of fruit growing in Brazil. They have been managed
predominantly with the use of insecticides applied as cover spray and or/as toxic baits …

Augmentative releases of parasitoids may be a useful tool for the area-wide management of
tephritid pests. The latter are parasitized by many wasp species, though only a few of them …

Abstract In South America, the resident pupal parasitoid Trichopria anastrephae Costa Lima
(Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) is a potential biological control agent of the pest Drosophila …

Parasitoids searching for polyphagous herbivores can find their hosts in a variety of habitats.
Under this scenario, chemical cues from the host habitat (not related to the host) represent …

Psyttalia concolor (Szépligeti) is a koinobiont larval-pupal endoparasitoid of many
Tephritidae of great economic importance, such as the medfly, Ceratitis capitata …

Abstract Fruit fly pests (Diptera: Tephritidae) are a serious problem for fruit production and
for local and international trade. Biological control is increasingly included as a pest control …

Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we
evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead)(Hymenoptera …

Euborellia annulipes, a nocturnal predatory earwig, has been found in association to fallen
Myrtaceae fruits infested with fruit-fly larvae (Diptera: Tephritidae). Additionally, these fruits …

Herbivorous activity induces plant indirect defenses, as the emission of herbivorous‐
induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), which could be used by parasitoids for host location …

abstract The preferences of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) for larvae of
Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) were evaluated …
