“…Although there are numerous studies on various aspects of behavior in both the medfly and D. melanogaster (Arita and Kaneshiro, 1983;Prokopy et al, 1984;Tomaru and Oguma, 2000;Whittier et al, 1992) the studies described here on lifetime behavior in these two species appear to be the first to systematically document lifetime changes in individual-level activity and behavior for any species. The findings establish a preliminary framework for investigations concerned with lifetime behavioral patterns, correlations of different behaviors with respect to each other as well as to longevity and time-to-death, and the emergence of new types of behaviors that are unique either to older individuals in particular or to the aging process in general.…”

“…Medfly courtship occurs in nature in two different contexts: in leks where each male usually occupies the underside of a different leaf; and near oviposition sites, where several flies may be present on a single fruit (PROKOPY & HENDRICHS 1979;HENDRICHS & HENDRICHS 1990;WHITTIER et al 1992WHITTIER et al , 1994summary in EBERHARD in press). Some courtships are interrupted by other flies in nature (HENDRICHS & HEN-DRICHS 1990), and interruption is probably more frequent at sites where more flies are present, though there are apparently no data directly addressing this question.…”

“…lek). Females choose their mates based on some poorly understood male attributes that signal their genetic or physical qualities (Sivinski, 1989b;Whittier et al, 1992). Additionally, it has been reported that oogenesis of A. ludens females is affected by volatiles emanated from fruit and by the sexual pheromones emitted by males (Aluja et al, 2001 ) during 20-22 days for egg production.…”
