TL;DR: This species-specific lure will facilitate the use of mating disruption against codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), in Argentine fruit orchards.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed that Drosophila suzukii and H. uvarum engage in niche construction leading to a mutualistic relation, facilitating the exploitation of fruit and berries as larval substrate.

TL;DR: When adult male populations were monitored under field conditions, 39 males were caught in the area treated with pheromone dispensers, compared to 1593 males in the untreated area.

TL;DR: The goal of this study was to examine the diel periodicity of male attraction to sex pheromone, and female oviposition behaviour under varying meteorological conditions.

TL;DR: Investigating the spatio-temporal dynamics of pest, inside and outside orchards and to evaluate the effect of the landscape elements on pest distribution by using traps baited with the trimedlure showed that the adults of C. capitata were primarily distributed inside the fruit orchard, with the peak of maximum density found, in the months of September and October, in late cultivars of peach orchard.
