Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) on a guava orchard, in the Brazilian semiarid
Araujo, Elton Lucio; Ribeiro, Juliana da Costa; Chagas, Marcone César Mendonça Das; Dutra, Vivian Siqueira; Silva, Janisete GomesFruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are key pests of guava Psidium guajava L. crops, with different dominant species according to the Brazilian growth region The objectives of this study were to determine the fruit fly diversity and submit the results of flies captured in guava orchard from the municipality of Cruzeta, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazilian semiarid to the faunistic analysis. Fruit flies were c...
Native hosts and parasitoids associated with anastrepha fractura and other anas...
Dutra, Vivian Siqueira; Ronchi-Teles, Beatriz; Garcia, Marcos Vinicius Bastos; Adaime, Ricardo; Silva, Janisete GomesA new natural host for Anastrepha fractura Stone, Salacia sp., is reported for the first time in Brazil. Parasitoids attacking A. fractura are also reported. We also report Anastrepha distincta Greene infesting Inga cinnamomea in Brazil for the first time. New associations between Anastrepha species and parasitoids are also reported.
Host plant of anastrepha pulchra (Diptera: Tephritidae) in central amazon, braz...
Ronchi-Teles, Beatriz; Dutra, Vivian Siqueira; Silva, Janisete GomesPouteria oblanceolata, the true natural host of Anastrepha pulchra, is reported in the state of Amazon, Brazil. Parasitoids attacking A. pulchra are also reported. Comments on a previous erroneous identification of the host plant of A. pulchra are also included. Copyright © 2011 BioOne All rights reserved.
Phylogeography and population diversity of Simulium hirtipupa Lutz (Diptera: Si...
Andrade-Souza, V.; Silva, Janisete Gomes; Hamada, NeusaHigh morphological homogeneity and cryptic speciation may cause the diversity within Simuliidae to be underestimated. Recent molecular studies on population genetics and phylogeography have contributed to reveal which factors influenced the diversity within this group. This study aimed at examining the genetic diversity of Simulium hirtipupa Lutz, 1910 in populations from the biomes Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlan...
Natural host plants and native parasitoids associated with Anastrepha pulchra a...
Ronchi-Teles, Beatriz; Dutra, Vivian Siqueira; Tregue Costa, Alexandra Priscilla; Aguiar-Menezes, Elen de Lima; Araujo Mesquita, Aline CristinaA natural host (Mouriri collocarpa) and a parasitoid (Doryctobracon areolatus) for Anastrepha pulchra are reported for the first time in Brazil. We report new hosts for Anastrepha atrigona and Anastrepha bahiensis in the Brazilian Amazon. Parasititoids attacking A. atrigona, Anastrepha coronilli, and A. pulchra are reported.
First survey of fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) and parasitoid diversity among...
Silva, Lidia Nogueira; Santos, Mírian Silva; Dutra, Vivian Siqueira; Araujo, Elton Lucio; Costa, Marco Antônio F.; Silva, Janisete GomesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity of fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) species that use myrtaceous fruit, particularly guava, as hosts in several localities in the state of Bahia and to determine the infestation rates, pupal viability rates, and fruit fly-parasitoid associations. Sampling of myrtaceous fruit was carried out in 24 municipalities in different regions in the state of Bahia. ...
Genetic structure and diversity in Brazilian populations of Anastrepha obliqua ...
Passos, Joseane F.; Nascimento, Danilo Baia do; Menezes, Rodolpho Santos Telles; Araujo, Elton Lucio; Lima, Kátia Manuela; Zucchi, Roberto AntonioAnastrepha obliqua (Macquart), the West Indian fruit fly, is one of the most economically important pest species in the Neotropical region. It infests an extensive range of host plants that include over 60 species. The geographic range of A. obliqua is from northern Mexico to southern Brazil and includes the Caribbean Islands. Previous molecular studies have revealed significant genetic structure among populati...
Contribution of cytogenetics to the debate on the Paraphyly of Pachycondyla spp...
Pompolo, Silvia das Graças; Mariano, Cléa dos Santos Ferreira; Silva, Janisete Gomes; Gomes, JaniseteO artigo não contém o mês para citação, além de não conter palavra chave e resumo em português.; We present evidence of the paraphyly of the ant genus Pachycondyla resulting from our cytogenetic studies on 29 populations in 18 species from Brazil and French Guyana. It is likely that karyotypes with a large number of chromosomes and comprising mostly small acrocentric chromosomes in species within the Pachycondy...
