Complete mitochondrial genome of the bamboo-shoot fruit fly, Acrotaeniostola dissimilis (Diptera: Tephritidae) and its phylogenetic relationship within family Tephritidae.

ABSTRACT: Acrotaeniostola dissimilis (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an insect pest of bamboo shoot and distributed in the Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces, Southwest China. Complete mitogenome sequence has been determined in this study. The circular genome is 15384 bp long and contains a standard gene complement, that is, the large and small ribosomal RNA subunits, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 genes encoding mitochondrial proteins, and a non-coding A + T-rich control region. The phylogeny showed that A. dissimilis in tribe Gastrozonini was a monophyletic branch and clearly separated from both tribe Dacini and tribe Ceratitidini with high bootstrap value supported.

Identifying an Optimal Screen Mesh to Enable Augmentorium-Based Enhanced Biological Control of the Olive Fruit Fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) and the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Project description:The augmentorium is a cost-effective screened enclosure designed to receive fruits infested with insect pests, retain the pests inside but let their natural enemies escape to enhance biological control of pest populations. Screen selection is critical to ensure that an augmentorium is effective for a particular system. Here we tested five types of screens with a mini-augmentorium design and measured the escape of four insect species under laboratory conditions: the pests olive fruit fly Bactocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), and the parasitoids Psyttalia lounsburyi (Silvestri) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Psyttalia ponerophaga (Silvestri) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). The sex ratio of insects that escaped the screens was compared to the sex ratio of insects that could not escape. Results showed that one screen type ('crystal mesh') was the best for the purpose of designing a functional augmentorium: it retained 90% of B. oleae adults and 100% of C. capitata adults while letting 72% of Psyttalia lounsburyi adults and 94% of P. ponerophaga adults escape. The other screen types tested were suboptimal, either because they let too many flies freely escape or because they retained too many parasitoids. Sex ratio was almost always similar for insects that managed to escape the screens and insects that were retained, except for P. ponerophaga and the screen type 'light mesh'. These results are promising for the development of a functional augmentorium against the olive fruit fly and further implementation against Mediterranean fruit fly.

Analyses of volatiles produced by the African fruit fly species complex (Diptera, Tephritidae).

Project description:Ceratitis fasciventris, Ceratitis anonae and Ceratitis rosa are polyphagous agricultural pests originating from the African continent. The taxonomy of this group (the so-called Ceratitis FAR complex) is unclear. To clarify the taxonomic relationships, male and female-produced volatiles presumably involved in pre-mating communication were studied using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS) followed by multivariate analysis, and gas chromatography combined with electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD). GC×GC-TOFMS analyses revealed sex specific differences in produced volatiles. Male volatiles are complex mixtures that differ both qualitatively and quantitatively but share some common compounds. GC-EAD analyses of male volatiles revealed that the antennal sensitivities of females significantly differ in the studied species. No female volatiles elicited antennal responses in males. The results show clear species-specific differences in volatile production and provide complementary information for the distinct delimitation of the putative species by chemotaxonomic markers.

Competition: A Missing Component of Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) Risk Assessment and Planning.

Project description:Tephritid fruit flies are internationally significant pests of horticulture. Because they are also highly invasive and of major quarantine concern, significant effort is placed in developing full or partial pest risk assessments (PRAs) for fruit flies, while large investments can be made for their control. Competition between fruit fly species, driven by the need to access and utilise fruit for larval development, has long been recognised by researchers as a fundamental component of fruit fly biology, but is entirely absent from the fruit fly PRA literature and appears not be considered in major initiative planning. First presenting a summary of the research data which documents fruit fly competition, this paper then identifies four major effects of fruit fly competition that could impact a PRA or large-scale initiative: (i) numerical reduction of an existing fruit fly pest species following competitive displacement by an invasive fruit fly; (ii) displacement of a less competitive fruit fly pest species in space, time or host; (iii) ecological resistance to fruit fly invasion in regions already with competitively dominant fruit fly species; and (iv) lesser-pest fruit fly resurgence following control of a competitively superior species. From these four major topics, six more detailed issues are identified, with each of these illustrated by hypothetical, but realistic biosecurity scenarios from Australia/New Zealand and Europe. The scenarios identify that the effects of fruit fly competition might both positively or negatively affect the predicted impacts of an invasive fruit fly or targeted fruit fly control initiative. Competition as a modifier of fruit fly risk needs to be recognised by policy makers and incorporated into fruit fly PRAs and major investment initiatives.

Cold Responses of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Blueberry.

Project description:In this study, the effects of cold treatment at 1.0 ± 0.2 °C were investigated on the eggs of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instar larvae of Ceratitis capitata in two Australian blueberry cultivars C99-42 and C00-09. Pupariation, emerged adults, and sex ratios were examined on C. capitata after the treatment. The results showed that exposure time at low temperatures was a key factor to affect pupariation and adult emergence. Eleven days of exposure to cold treatment at 1.0 ± 0.2 °C were enough to eradicate all four immature stages in both cultivars. Cold tolerance of the four C. capitata stages was not affected when reared on two different blueberry cultivars. The third instar larva is the most tolerant stage for cold treatment in two blueberry cultivars. There were no significant differences in sex ratios from surviving C. capitata among different stages after treatment. This study improves understanding of C. capitata responses to cold treatment in blueberries, which may contribute to phytosanitary required quarantine treatment of this destructive horticulture pest species.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the pumpkin fruit fly, Bactrocera depressa (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Project description:In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the pumpkin fruit fly, Bactrocera depressa (Diptera: Tephritidae), which is an economically damaging pest of pumpkin and turban squash. The 15,832-bp-long complete mitogenome of the species consists of a typical set of genes, with an arrangement typical of insects. Of the 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 12 have a typical ATN start codon, whereas the COI gene begins with TCG, which has been identified as the start codon for all Bactrocera COI genes. The 1004-bp A?+?T-rich region of B. depressa is the third longest, after B. minax and B. scutellata, of the Bactrocera species for which the whole mitogenome has been sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis using the 13 PCGs of Bactrocera species indicated that B. depressa is a sister to the sister group containing B. tau and B. cucurbitae with the highest nodal support (Bayesian posterior probability =1.0).

A LAMP assay for the detection of Bactrocera tryoni Queensland fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Project description:LAMP assays are targeted molecular tests for the rapid detection of species in the laboratory and field. We developed a LAMP assay for an economically important fruit fly species, Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni. This assay was assessed against a broad panel of target and non-target species and found to be specific, only amplifying the target species and closest relatives, in a portable real-time fluorometer (Genie III) in under 15 minutes with an anneal derivative temperature of 82.5 oC. The assay is sensitive to low levels of target DNA (>0.016 ng/µl), performing equally to the existing qPCR test. To enable retention of a physical voucher specimen, for potential morphological confirmation of LAMP results, a novel whole-specimen non-destructive DNA extraction method was developed, suitable for LAMP in the field. The stability of DNA extraction and LAMP reagents was tested under simulated and actual field conditions and shown to be robust. Our new assay now provides a portable molecular tool for the detection of this significant tephritid fruit fly pest species of biosecurity/quarantine concern. This has already proven invaluable for in-field diagnostics, providing real-time support influencing immediate actions, with negative results allowing the release of fruit produce, and positive results initiating fruit fly control measures.

Global assessment of seasonal potential distribution of Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Project description:The Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) is one of the world's most economically damaging pests. It displays highly seasonal population dynamics, and the environmental conditions suitable for its abundance are not constant throughout the year in most places. An extensive literature search was performed to obtain the most comprehensive data on the historical and contemporary spatio-temporal occurrence of the pest globally. The database constructed contained 2328 unique geo-located entries on Medfly detection sites from 43 countries and nearly 500 unique localities, as well as information on hosts, life stages and capture method. Of these, 125 localities had information on the month when Medfly was recorded and these data were complemented by additional material found in comprehensive databases available online. Records from 1980 until present were used for medfly environmental niche modeling. Maximum Entropy Algorithm (MaxEnt) and a set of seasonally varying environmental covariates were used to predict the fundamental niche of the Medfly on a global scale. Three seasonal maps were also produced: January-April, May-August and September-December. Models performed significantly better than random achieving high accuracy scores, indicating a good discrimination of suitable versus unsuitable areas for the presence of the species.
