“…In relation to weight of the pupae of A. fraterculus, Nunes et al (2013) found similar values (15.3 mg) using the same artificial diet with pH 4.0. The greater weight and larger number of pupae may be related to a favorable condition for larval development at this pH level, as well as for the bacteria associated to its intestinal flora.…”

“…Adults of A. fraterculus were kept in plastic cages (57 × 39 × 37 cm). Water and solid diet, composed of refined sugar, wheat germ, and yeast at a ratio of 3:1:1 were offered (Nunes et al, 2013). Eggs were collected from screens placed on the cage sides and were transferred to Erlenmeyer-type glass containers (500 mL), where they remained for a 24 h aeration process.…”

“…The semisolid diets were prepared according to the methodology described by Salles (1992) and Nunes et al (2013). For the diets preparation, the following components were homogenised in blender: refined sugar, lyophilized brewer's yeast Brewcell (Biorigin, Lençóis Paulista, SP), cread wheat germ (Walmon, São Paulo, SP) and distilled water.…”

“…Larvae were transfered to containers with moistened thin vermiculite and after 10 d, the containers were inspected daily to separate the pupae, which were weighted with 24h using a precision analytical scale (Shimadzu of Brazil, AUY 220 model) and packed in new containers until emergence. Components for 1 L of artificial diet (Salles, 1992;Nunes et al, 2013).…”

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are considered the main fruit pests worldwide. In Brazil, two species are predominant: the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus and the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. In this study, we evaluated the effect of artificial diets with variable pH in their larval development and adult performance. The experiments were carried out in the laboratory at 25 ± 2 °C, 70 ± 10% RH and 12:12h (L:D) photoperiod. Semisolid diets with pH values of 6.0, 5.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.5, and 1.0, adjusted by adding hydrochloric acid were tested. Results indicated that the diet with pH 6.0 did not support larval development of both species of fruit fly. Diets with greater acidic pH values did not allow egg, larvae or pupae development and adult reproduction of A. fraterculus. For C. capitata , the pH of artificial diet exerts greater influence compared to A. fraterculus on the duration and viability of the larval stage, number of pupae, sex ratio and longevity of males.

“…A diet (Bionis YE MF and NS) based on yeast, wheat germ, and fine sugar was offered at the ratio of 1:1:3, respectively. Water by capillarity was also offered in acrylic boxes of type Gerbox (11.5 by 11.5 by 3.5 cm) (Gerbox, J. Prolab Ltda, São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, Brazil) containing cotton used for Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) (Nunes et al 2013).…”

Anastrepha grandis (Macquart) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the main pests of cucurbits in Brazil. Losses occur due to the damage caused to the fruits and the embargo on exports, as A. grandis is considered a quarantine pest in countries that import Brazilian cucurbits. This study aimed to evaluate the development of A. grandis in hosts of the Cucurbitaceae family. The hosts used were stem squash (Cucurbita pepo L.), squash (Cucurbita moschata Duchesne), chayote [Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz], mini watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai], Spanish melon (Cucumis melo L.), hybrid squash "Tetsukabuto" (C. moschata×Cucurbita maxima Duchesne), and salad cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). We evaluated the viability and duration of egg-to-pupa period, pupal weight, sex ratio, and average number of pupae per fruit under controlled conditions of temperature, relative humidity, and photophase. The preoviposition and oviposition periods, fecundity, fertility, and longevity of females were determined for adults. Hosts of the genus Cucurbita provided a better development of A. grandis in comparison with other hosts, and presented a greater number of insects on fruit as well as higher infestation rate. Fecundity and longevity were also higher for females that developed in hosts of the genus Cucurbita, although values of these biological parameters varied between stem squash, squash, hybrid squash "Tetsukabuto."
