Comparing apples and oranges (and blueberries and grapes): fruit type affects development and cold susceptibility of immature Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Abstract: Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a cosmopolitan polyphagous pest on unripe soft-skinned fruits. We sought to determine (1) temperature treatments that could be used to kill immature D. suzukii in fruit or packaging and (2) whether development on different fruits led to differences in cold tolerance of immature D. suzukii. We reared animals from egg on a banana-based laboratory diet and diets made of apple (Malus domestica Borkhausen; Rosaceae), blueberry (Vaccinium Linnaeus; Ericaceae),… Show more

“…Thus, although our diets contained varying microbiota (and very different nutrients, see also Jiménez-Padilla et al. 2020), we recognise that the identity of those microbes and yeasts is unlikely to be reflective of the microbial flora of those fruits in nature. Future work could include more replicate populations per fruit type to unravel the mechanistic relationship between diet and microbiota, and to explore the ways in which diet and the microbiota interact to influence phenotype.…”

“…It is also unclear whether these effects arise because the diet houses a specific microbiome, or – given the broad phenotypic effects of food type; Jiménez-Padilla et al. 2020) – because the diet modifies the Drosophila interactions with the microbiome, affecting community assembly (Adair and Douglas 2017; Jehrke et al. 2018).…”

“…This is important as D. suzukii has such a wide host range that different individuals have different diets. Jiménez-Padilla et al (2020b) show that development rate, final body size, and cold susceptibility of the immature stages depend on the species of fruit in which the insects were reared. Efforts were also made to determine temperature treatments that could be used to kill immature D. suzukii in packaging or in fruit.…”
