Geographic variation and core microbiota composition of (Diptera: Tephritidae) infesting a single host across latitudinal and altitudinal gradients
Aluja M, Cerqueda-Garcia D, Altuzar-Molina A, Guillen L, Acosta-Velasco E, Conde-Alarcon J, et al.
PeerJ . 2024 Dec; 12:e18555. PMID: 39686986
is a pestiferous tephritid fly species exhibiting extreme polyphagy. It develops optimally in hosts rich in sugar but low nitrogen content. We studied the geographical influence on the composition of...

Expansion to new habitats and a new commercial host (Malus domestica) by Anastrepha ludens (Tephritidae) likely influenced by global warming
Aluja M, Acosta E, Enciso-Ortiz E, Ortega-Casas R, Altuzar-Molina A, Camacho-Vazquez C, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Nov; 14(1):27729. PMID: 39533054
Anastrepha ludens (Mexican fruit-fly) is a highly polyphagous fruit fly species (Tephritidae) attacking wild and commercial fruit from Mexico to Panama. Here we report on a recent habitat and host...

Larval Rearing and Nutrition of the Polyphagous Tephritid Pest on Artificial Diets with Calcium Alginate, Agar, or Carrageenan as Gelling Agents at Various Concentrations and across Extreme Larval Density Conditions
Pascacio-Villafan C, Caravantes-Villatoro L, Osorio-Paz I, Guillen L, Garcia H, Enciso-Ortiz E, et al.
Insects . 2023 Dec; 14(12). PMID: 38132628
Research on larval rearing and nutrition of tephritid flies on artificial diets is key for the sterile insect technique. Here, we examined the effects of the type of gel (calcium...

New Insights on Antennal Sensilla of (Diptera: Tephritidae) Using Advanced Microscopy Techniques
Guillen L, Lopez-Sanchez L, Velazquez O, Rosas-Saito G, Altuzar-Molina A, Stoffolano Jr J, et al.
Insects . 2023 Jul; 14(7). PMID: 37504658
Using light, transmission, scanning electron, and confocal microscopy, we carried out a morphological study of antennal sensilla and their ultrastructures of the Mexican Fruit Fly (Loew), an economically important species...

Feeding on the Fruit Waste Orange Bagasse Modifies Immature Protein Content, Body Weight, Scent Bouquet Composition, and Copula Duration in Males of a Tephritid Frugivorous Fly
Pascacio-Villafan C, Guillen L, Altuzar-Molina A, Tellez-Mora J, Cruz-Hernandez E, Aluja M
Biology (Basel) . 2023 May; 12(5). PMID: 37237551
is a polyphagous frugivorous tephritid that infests citrus and mango. Here, we report the establishment of a laboratory colony of reared on a larval medium that is a waste for...

Coping with global warming: Adult thermal thresholds in four pestiferous species determined under experimental laboratory conditions and development/survival times of immatures and adults under natural field conditions
Guillen L, Pascacio-Villafan C, Osorio-Paz I, Ortega-Casas R, Enciso-Ortiz E, Altuzar-Molina A, et al.
Front Physiol . 2022 Oct; 13:991923. PMID: 36304579
Climate change, particularly global warming, is disturbing biological processes in unexpected ways and forcing us to re-study/reanalyze the effects of varying temperatures, among them extreme ones, on insect functional traits...

Electroantennographic Responses of Wild and Laboratory-Reared Females of Eichhoff and (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) to Ethanol and Bark Volatiles of Three Host-Plant Species
Romero P, Ibarra-Juarez L, Carrillo D, Guerrero-Analco J, Kendra P, Kiel-Martinez A, et al.
Insects . 2022 Jul; 13(7). PMID: 35886831
Chemical ecology studies on ambrosia beetles are typically conducted with either wild or laboratory-reared specimens. Unlike laboratory-reared insects, important aspects that potentially influence behavioral responses, such as age, physiological state,...
