“…The average PV obtained in the present study in the acerola samples was 21.8% (Table 3), which was close to that observed by Lemos et al (2017) in surveys carried out in commercial orchards in the state of Amapá, where PV was 20%. However, our results were inferior to the reports of other studies.…”

Fruit flies are phytophagous insects that are important because of the damages caused to fruits, mainly by larvae that feed on the pulp. Surveys of the diversity of these tefritids are still scarce in Brazil, especially in the Amazon region, the objective of this study was to establish the tritrophic relationship existing between species of Anastrepha, their parasitoids, and the fruits acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.), mango (Mangifera indica L.), and guava (Psidium guajava L.) in the municipality of Brasil Novo, Pará. Freshly fallen fruits were collected weekly from January to December 2018, in three farms. Throughout the survey, 4,324 puparium were collected in guavas, 2,682 in mangoes, and 644 in acerolas. The species Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) were identified in mango (90.3%), acerola (7.7%) and guava (2.1%), and Anastrepha striata Schiner, 1868 were identified in guava (98.8%) and acerola (1.2%). Five species of parasitoids were identified in association with A. obliqua and six species of parasitoids were identified in association with A. striata. The specie Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti, 1911) was the most frequent among the species of parasitoids recorded.

“…Anastrepha obliqua is a polyphagous species, with high rates of infestation, mainly in hosts of the genus Spondias. This was recorded in the states of Piauí in S. mombin (Araújo et al, 2014;Gomes Neto et al, 2016;Sousa et al, 2017), Bahia, in S. purpurea (Leite et al, 2017) and Amapá , in S. dulcis, S. mombin and S. purpurea (Lemos et al, 2017).…”

The aim of this work was to evaluate the infestation of Anastrepha species in several fruit tree species and A. alveata in wild plum Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae), as well as the fruit fly community in a Savannah area using faunal indexes and population fluctuation. For this, we installed McPhail traps and carried out collections at Palmeiras home garden, municipality of São Pedro of Piauí, state of Piaui, northeastern Brazil. We noted high infestation of A. alveata in wild plum, with 144.2 puparia/kg, 216.1 puparia/kg and 321.6 puparia/kg for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. The infestation indexes of A. obliqua in red mombin (Spondias purpurea) were 146.1 puparia/kg in 2016 and 479.2 puparia/kg in 2017, and in umbu-hog plum (Spondias bahiensis) 607.3 puparia/kg in 2017, both from the Anacardiaceae family. The species that composed the fruit fly community were A. alveata, A. ethalea (predominant), A. obliqua, A. zenildae (dominant and accessory), A. sororcula and A. fraterculus (accidental). The population fluctuation of A. ethalea occurred from March to October, while A. alveata presented population peaks in the fruiting of wild plum, between October and December.

“…From the collected fruits we have obtained 16,592 puparia of fruit flies with infestation rates generally lower than 100 puparia/kg of fruit; the highest reported being 454.5 puparia/kg (Table 1). These data were collected following two typical methodologies: (i) in most studies (76.9%), a grouped fruits methodology was adopted, whereby the fruits are packaged together, with several fruits from the same plant constituting a single sample; (ii) Cunha et al (2011), Sousa et al (2014) and Lemos et al (2017) used an individualized fruit methodology, where each fruit represents a subsample. When we take together the amount of fruits from an individualized sample, they are equivalent to a grouped sample.…”

Fruit flies are economically important pests that infest a wide variety of host trees. The environmental damage caused by traditional pesticide-based control methods has prompted scientists to seek less damaging alternatives such as biological control by native species. Parasitoids, especially Braconidae species, have excellent potential as biological control agents for fruit flies, being both generalists and well distributed geographically. Native fruit trees that support medium or high levels of these parasitoids could therefore play an important role in biological control strategies. A good potential example is Spondias mombin L. in the Brazilian Amazon, which hosts several species of fruit flies and associated parasitoids. Here, we provide a unique synthesis of over nearly two decades of data from the east Amazon, clearly demonstrating the potential of S. mombin to act as a source and reservoir of fruit fly parasitoids. This important ecosystem service (biological control) provided by the parasitoids and supported by S. mombin could be further enhanced through conservation of this plant species in its natural environment.
