Previous studies suggest that olfactory cues from damaged and fermented fruits play
important roles in resource recognition of polyphagous spotted wing Drosophila flies (SWD) …

The square-necked grain beetle, Cathartus quadricollis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae), is a
predator of two significant crop pests in Hawaii: the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus …

Yeasts form mutualistic interactions with insects. Hallmarks of this interaction include
provision of essential nutrients, while insects facilitate yeast dispersal and growth on plant …

A major goal of evolutionary biology is to understand how variation within populations gets
partitioned into differences between reproductively isolated species. Here, we examine the …

Ecological speciation via host-shifting is often invoked as a mechanism for insect
diversification, but the relative importance of this process is poorly understood. The shift of …

Tephritid flies are serious fruit pests. Despite clear niche differences, many species show
considerable overlap in fruit preferences, of which we here analysed the olfactory correlate …

The apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella Walsh (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a major pest of
commercially grown domesticated apple (Malus domestica Borkhausen) in North America …

The apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh)(Diptera: Tephritidae), was introduced
from eastern North America into western North America via infested apples (Malus …

We investigated the role of olfactory cues from actively fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces
cerevisiae) in attraction of adult Philornis downsi and identified two synergistically attractive …

A mixture of behaviorally active volatiles was identified from the fruit of snowberry,
Symphoricarpos albus laevigatus, for Rhagoletis zephyria flies reared from snowberry fruit …
