“…Moreover, neighbouring locations to the "El Cielo" reserve involve backyards and patches of wild vegetation adjacent to commercial orchards that represent a shelter and the availability of functional alternative hosts for these species. Among the possible non-commercial hosts listed in Table 3, the following could be associated with the high population densities of fruit flies in this area because they are found more frequently, in backyards: Annona spp., Carica papaya, Citrus A mass trapping strategy using specific attractants (Cotoc-Roldan et al, 2023;Flores et al, 2017; could be an alternative to minimize ground bait sprays and the impact on entomofauna diversity in the influence area of the "El Cielo" reserve.…”

Fruit fly pestiferous species within the genus Anastrepha Schiner (Diptera: Tephritidae) affect fruit growing in northeastern Mexico, particularly citrus and mango production. Little is known about the population fluctuation of these pests in protected natural areas adjacent to agricultural environments. This study aimed to compare and analyse the temporal profiles of adult populations of Anastrepha pest species inhabiting agricultural zones and a protected natural area. Six years of adult capture data of Anastrepha ludens (Loew), A. obliqua (Macquart), A. striata Schiner and A. serpentina (Wiedemann) were compared and analysed between commercial orchards and fruit tree areas located in the buffer zone of the biosphere reserve “El Cielo”. The analyses were carried out for each of two triennial periods (2008–2010 and 2019–2021). Temporal patterns of the pest populations were characterized, and generalized linear mixed models were used for data analysis. All locations registered the four species, although Anastrepha ludens and A. obliqua represented the highest number of adult captures. Populations of pest species of Anastrepha showed similar fluctuation patterns throughout the year regardless of the location. However, significant differences in the population size were noted between the “El Cielo” reserve and commercial areas. The “El Cielo” reserve and its surroundings captured the highest population levels of the four species. Persistent populations of A. striata and A. serpentina were related to the area under ecological protection. The “El Cielo” reserve is a shelter for the pest species of Anastrepha, which are mainly linked to backyard hosts. We discuss the importance of these findings in the context of an Area‐Wide Integrated Pest Management approach and of studying fruit flies' quarantine pests in Mexico's neotropical limits. Practical implications in designing specific phytosanitary measures to suppress or control pest populations are addressed.

“…in citrus fruit, and PET traps baited with protein can be used and monitor the species. In the crop, mass trapping was by PET bottles and CeraTrap ® as an alternative strategy to control fruit flies in Guatemala with 40 bottles per hectare (Cotoc-Roldan et al 2023). Serra et al (2021) in a study related to electrophysiological responses of Mediterranean fruit fly guava, C. capitata to traps baited with CeraTrap ® determibed physiological odor perception in both sexes, especially in relation to activity of the attractant in the field was specific to females and a useful tool for effective control of fruit flies.…”
