“…Flavonoids (Propolis), similarly to copper oxychloride, did not cause a significant egg reduction rate (%) in the oviposition assay (no-choice), but affected the ovipositional behavior of B. oleae in the choice test. The efficacy of flavonoids to restrain the olive fruit fly infestation percentage was previously reported also in experimental fields [40], and was already demonstrated against the melon fruit fly Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) where application in small pieces of pumpkin reduced oviposition by females under choice as well as no-choice conditions [41].…”

The control of Bactrocera oleae is fundamental to decreasing the significant production loss in olive cultivation. However, traditional containment based on the use of synthetic insecticides has been encountering serious limitations due to their negative effect on human health and the environment. Within the scope of integrated olive fly management, the use of products with repellency and oviposition deterrent activity might represent a more eco-friendly solution. In this study, we tested the oviposition deterrent activity of some commercial formulations already used in olive tree crops as fungicides (copper oxychloride, dodine, mancozeb, pyraclostrobin and difeconazole) and plant bio-stimulants (tannins, clay, flavonoids and a zinc-copper-citric acid biocomplex). The trials were conducted testing the oviposition behavior of mated olive fly females in both choice and no-choice assays. Our results showed that most of the substances have affected the ovipositional activity of the olive fly, except for difeconazole. Moreover, some products (copper oxychloride, flavonoids and tannins) have proven to differently influence the flies’ oviposition comparing the two tests. The repellent effect of these commercial products should be further studied to prove whether the repellency was due either to the active ingredient or to the co-formulants, and to assess their effect in the open field.

“…When herbivores feed on their hosts, oviposition behavior is facilitated or inhibited by the presence of several plant secondary metabolites (Table 2). 158,159 The rise in temperatures, a result of global warming, can impact insect reproduction. The hormone‐associated effects of short‐term heat stimulation can stimulate insect reproduction and viability, such as inducing B. dorsalis to lay more eggs 287,288 .…”

Many species of the Tephritidae family are invasive and cause huge damage to agriculture and horticulture, owing to their reproductive characteristics. In this review, we have summarized the existing studies on the reproductive behavior of Tephritidae, particularly those regarding the genes and external factors that are associated with courtship, mating, and oviposition. Furthermore, we outline the issues that still need to be addressed in fruit fly reproduction research. The review highlights the implications for understanding the reproductive behavior of fruit flies and discusses methods for their integrated management and biological control.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) is one of the most destructive fruit and vegetable pests in tropical and subtropical regions and is extremely damaging to cucurbit crops such as bitter melon (Puri et al, 2022). Female adults pierce the fruit with their ovipositor to lay eggs, which hatch into larvae that feed on the fruit, causing it to rot.…”

Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) is an important pest of fruit and vegetable crops. Previous studies have shown that differential expression of the vitellogenin receptor (ZcVgR) gene mediated by short-term high temperature causes a decrease in egg number and lifespan in female Z. cucurbitae. To comprehensively understand the molecular mechanism of the ZcVgRgene in the regulation of reproduction and lifespan, Illumina high-throughput sequencing and Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) quantitative proteomics methods were used to determine the transcriptional and proteomic information of female Z. cucurbitae after silencing the target gene (ZcVgR) by siRNA in this paper. The results showed that after silencing the target gene, the expression of the ZcVgRgene was significantly downregulated at the transcriptional level, there was no significant difference at the protein level, and the correlation between the transcriptome and proteome was low; silencing the ZcVgRgene resulted in the downregulation of vitellogenin-1 (ZcVg1), juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase (JHEH), troponin C (TnC), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and other related genes at the transcriptional level, which reduced egg number and heat tolerance in adult females, leading to reduced reproductive capacity and short lifespan; silencing the ZcVgR gene activated immune-related pathways and inhibited energy metabolism-related pathways at the transcriptional level; activated Glycometabolism and Phagosome pathways at the protein level, and inhibited Phototransduction-fly and Autophagy-animal pathways. The results of this study may provide a theoretical basis for integrated control of Z. cucurbitae during the hot season.
