“…Long-distance attraction of foraging flies to host plants and odor-baited traps is mediated by chemical volatiles, whereas at short distances, when a fly has landed on a tree, host finding and trap capture is driven mainly by visual cues (Aluja & Prokopy 1993;Finch & Collier 2000). It has widely been studied that several trap features can favor or affect trap capture of tephritid pests (Prokopy 1968;Nakagawa et al 1978;Cytrynowicz et al 1982;Economopoulos 1989;Sivinski 1990;Robacker 1992;Epsky et al 1995;López-Guillen et al 2009;Lunau 2014).…”

“…Recently, an effective female-attracting lure was developed for C. capitata (Epsky et al 1995;Heath et al 1996). The synthetic food-based attractant is available as a two-or three-component lure consisting of ammonium acetate and putrescine (two-component), or ammonium acetate, putrescine and trimethylamine (three-component) (Epsky et al 1999).…”

Field Evaluation of Female Attractants for Monitoring <I>Ceratitis capitata</I> (Diptera: Tephritidae) Under a Range of Climatic Conditions and Population Levels in Western Australia

Field trials were conducted in Western Australia to compare captures of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), in a standard male-targeted trap (Lynfield trap baited with Capilure) with a synthetic, female-targeted attractant marketed as BioLure. BioLure was also compared with other fenale attractants (orange ammonia, liquid protein bait) and tested in plastic McPhail, Tephri, and Lynfield traps. The possibility of using one trap to monitor female and male C. capitata populations was also tested by combining BioLure in a trap with the male attractant, Capilure. The results of these experiments show that BioLure outperformed the female-targeted system currently used for monitoring female C. capitala (liquid protein in MePhail trap). More male C. capitata were caught in the standard male-targeted trap, but more females were caught in traps baited with BioLure irrespective of trap type, climate, host tree, or population level. Combined lure traps caught equivalent total numbers of C. capitata to the standard male-targeted trap, but fewer females were captured. Tephri traps caught more flies than McPhail traps, but McPhail traps caught equivalent proportions of females. We compared the performance in commercial orchards of the standard male-targeted trap with a female-targeted trap (McPhail with BioLure). We found that the male trap detected C. capitata more often, caught more flies, triggered the economic threshold more often (66% of the time) and was more cost effective. The male-targeted trap is recommended for use on commercial orchards if cost is limiting. However, using both male and female-targeted traps increases the chance of detecting flies and triggering the economic threshold level. The synthetic female attractant is recommended for replacement of protein hydrolysate lures and may be used in either Tephri or McPhail traps.

“…Many of these compounds produce electroantennogram responses from female antennae or attract C. capitata females in laboratory tests (Keiser et al 1975;Light et al 1988Light et al , 1992Jang et al 1989;Dickens et al 1990; Levinson et al 1990;Cossé et al 1995;Hernández et al 1996;Prokopy and Vargas 1996;Warthen et al 1997). However, Þeld attractiveness or effectiveness has only been investigated under varied experimental conditions for a few compounds such as (E)-6-methyl nonenoate, (E)-6-nonenol and aliphatic acids (Ohinata et al 1977), ammonia salts (Gothilf andLevin 1987, Baker et al 1990), alkyl-pyrazines and geranyl acetate (Baker et al 1990), protein hydrolysates (Gothilf and Levin 1987, Heath et al 1994, Katsoyannos and Hendrichs 1995, and ammonia compounds with methylamines and putrescine (Heath et al 1991(Heath et al , 1994(Heath et al , 1996Epsky et al 1995;Ros et al 1997;Bakri et al 1998).…”

Attractiveness of 79 Compounds and Mixtures to Wild <I>Ceratitis capitata</I> (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Field Trials

Seventy-nine volatile compounds chosen from those emitted by Mediterranean fruit fly males, fruits and food baits, were tested for their attractiveness to females of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) in field trials with a wild population. To correct for density fluctuations, the results were presented as a percentage of males caught in the same type of traps baited with trimedlure, a known male attractant. The mixtures of corn steep liquor with ammonia compounds and amines were the most effective attractants for females. Other compounds exhibiting C. capitata attraction were a mixture ethyl acetate+acetic acid+ethanol for both sexes, and p-cymene, 1,3-diethylbenzene and borneol for females.
