During late autumn and early winter of these years, larvae within various naturally infested host fruits, pupae, and adults were exposed outdoors to natural temperature conditions. Mortality rates were 100\% for pupae and adults and greater than 60\% for larvae subjected to the various treatments. The larvae that survived the treatments experienced high mortality in the subsequent pupal stage that was related to the duration of their developmental period; the earlier the larvae left the fruits during winter and spring the lower their survival. Females that emerged from March through May laid fertile eggs in late spring and early summer. Average longevity of adults was ?90 d and average fecundity 246.7 eggs per female. These results suggest that under climatic conditions that permit boundary establishment a proportion of C. capitata larvae can overwinter and regenerate a population the following spring.

No eggs were found alive after the end of November. High incidences of 3rd instars inside fruits, and of fully grown larvae emerging from fruits to pupate, occurred in December-January. In both varieties, mortality and the emergence of the fully grown larvae from fruits reduced the number of living larvae per fruit from ?5 at the end of November to <1.3 at the end of December and to <0.3 by March. A low percentage (3.1 and 4.4\% for the Golden Delicious and local-variety apples, respectively) of 1st instars remained inside the fruits without molting until early March. Second instars were found in high numbers (20-70\% of the larval population) from November to March. The results suggest that larvae that molted to the 3rd instar during late autumn to winter pupate and die, but 1st and 2nd instars survive.

This area is located within the northernmost zone of establishment of the fly in Europe. No adults were captured from December to the end of June. The first captures were recorded from the end of June to August, depending on the year and orchard, and captures rates peaked in the autumn of each year. Significant differences were observed in adult population density and in the initiation of fly activity between two neighboring orchards (?500 m apart) that differed in host fruit abundance and availability. The results of fruit sampling showed that apricots were the first fruits infested every year in the area of Thessaloniki. Though infested at low rates, they were very important for breeding the first summer generation, and also for the increase in C. capitata population later in the summer. Peaches and figs were important hosts for breeding the late summer and early autumn generations. Apples and other pome fruits were important hosts later in autumn (October-November), and also served as overwintering refuges for the larvae. Among 17 fruit species collected in the area 11 were found infested. Pecan [Carya illinoenis (Wang) k. Koch] and Malus floribunda Sieb. (an ornamental tree) are reported here for the first time as hosts of C. capitata. Our findings suggest that C. capitata completes four to five generations per year in the area of Thessaloniki.

These data were combined with immature developmental rates and survival on the same hosts to estimate host-specific population parameters. Pairs of newly emerged adults from each citrus variety were held individually in transparent plastic cages, and females were allowed to oviposit in either red domes (artificial, pre-punctured plastic oviposition devices), or intact, whole citrus fruits. We found strong effects of larval host (citrus fruits) on adult longevity and fecundity. In all five citrus varieties, females did not manage to deposit eggs into fruit pulp. The proportion of eggs laid in either the flavedo or albedo area of the fruit peel differed depending on the citrus variety. In all cases except bitter oranges, females oviposited fewer eggs in citrus fruits than in the artificial oviposition substrates, suggesting that most citrus fruits cause a significant reduction in the reproductive potential of medflies. Negative correlations were found between fecundity and (a) the density of oil glands, and (b) the amount of essential oils in the flavedo area of citrus fruits. There was no correlation between fecundity and other fruit physical characteristics, such as resistance of fruit peel to pressure and thickness of the flavedo. Apparently, resistance of citrus fruits to medfly infestation is directly related to citrus essential oils. The intrinsic rate of increase (r) was higher in bitter oranges than in the three sweet orange varieties tested. A negative r was estimated for flies that developed and oviposited in lemons, indicating a tendency for population decrease in this host.

Its control in Greece has been based on organophosphates (OPs), but their intense use has led to the development of resistance. A test previously developed to monitor the trait may not be as robust as originally thought. The pyrethroid alpha-cypermethrin has recently been registered for bait sprays, as an alternative to OPs. RESULTS: The susceptibility of 20 B. oleae populations to alpha-cypermethrin was examined. Variation was observed in their response, with LD50 ranging from 0.14 to 3.28ng insect(-1) and resistance factors from 2.3 to 54.7. Resistance mechanisms were investigated. Cytochrome P450 monoxygenase activities showed an association with resistance. Sequences in the domain IIS4-IIS6 of the B. oleae para-type sodium channel were also analysed, but no resistance-associated mutations were identified. Finally, a novel diagnostic assay able to reliably monitor the frequency of the iAChE G488S resistance mutation was developed. CONCLUSION: This is the first attempt to evaluate the efficacy of alpha-cypermethrin against B. oleae from Greece. Data showed that it can be used effectively, but also highlighted the importance of continuous monitoring. The IIS4-IIS6 sodium channel region is the default area in which to look for resistance mutations if target-site resistance to pyrethroids arises. The application of the novel iAChE molecular diagnostic may facilitate the introduction of pyrethroids alongside OPs currently in use.

Sexually active Mediterranean fruit fly males, Ceratitis capitata (Wied.), aggregate in leks, where they participate in agonistic encounters and engage in visual, acoustic and pheromone-calling displays to attract receptive females. The objective of this study was to assess: a) whether sexually displaying C. capitata males in leks inside host and non-host foliage are subject to predation by the most prominent predators, yellowjacket wasps, Vespula germanica (F.), and if so, b) whether olfactory, visual or auditive stimuli are used by foraging wasps in locating male C. capitata prey. Studies were carried out in a citrus orchard and surroundings on the island of Chios, Greece. Observations were conducted using perforated containers hung within mulberry, fig or citrus foliage. Living C. capitata flies of different sex and either mature or immature were placed inside. Our results show that the yellowjacket wasps have learned to associate the presence of sexually active medfly males aggregated in leks with their prey{\textquoteright}s pheromone (kairomone). Foraging wasps, flying through the crowns of host trees, responded to the odour source of C. capitata male pheromone by approaching from downwind. Even inside dense citrus tree foliage, wasps keyed in on aggregations of pheromone-calling males using olfactory stimuli. Stimuli of visual and acoustic male signalling were only used at close range, after having followed the pheromone plume close to its source. Visual cues played a greater role in directing wasp foraging under more open and exposed host foliage conditions. Odour-based foraging of wasps inside host foliage in the mid-morning hours, when medfly male lekking activities peak, shifted gradually to a more visual-based host fruit patrolling in the afternoons to capture ovipositing and feeding medfly females. On ripe fruit, particularly fig, V. germanica visual prey hunting also included the capture of feeding medfly males, other feeding Diptera, as well as medfly larvae extracted from wasp-made perforations in the fruit.}, keywords = {braconidae, Ceratitis capitata, dacus-dorsalis, diachasmimorpha-longicaudata hymenoptera, flies, HOST, kairomone, lek, MATING-BEHAVIOR, parasitization, phytophagous insects, predation, vespula germanica, vespula-germanica, vulgaris}, author = {Hendrichs, J. and Katsoyannos, B.

Male sexual signalling was studied in four medfly populations (originating from Brazil, Portugal, Kenya, and Greece) under identical laboratory conditions (25 degrees C, 60\% r.h., and L14:D10). The four populations had been reared for one generation in the laboratory. Sexual signalling was studied in the F(1) progeny that were fed one of two diets (yeast hydrolysate plus sugar or sugar only). On both diets, the four populations differed significantly in the progress of maturity (indicated by the average number of males exhibiting sexual signalling) and in the quantity of signalling after attaining maturity. Yeast availability significantly increased sexual signalling; however, it had a different impact on the quantity of signalling in the different populations. A bi-modal pattern of sexual signalling, with one peak at approximately 08:00-09:00 hours and the second at approximately 13:00-14:00 hours, was recorded for all populations and diets.

Surveys conducted in the Mediterranean parts of Europe, North Africa, and of the Middle East have revealed that M. exigua had, in fact, a much wider distribution range than previously recorded. Eight common species of the genus Sitona are reported here as hosts of the tachinid, which was by far the predominant natural enemy of adult weevils in the Provence (southern France, 61.2\% of the entomophagous complex), and in Greece (54.9\%). The importance of M. exigua was exceptionally high in southwest Anatolia (Asian Turkey, 94.6 \% of the complex of natural enemies), where the fly apparently played a key role in the regulation of the population dynamics of Sitona spp., reaching a parasitization rate of 57.1 \% on average for the period 1981\–84.

Carthamus lanatus L. (Compositae, saffron thistle) is a major weed of worldwide distribution that originated in southern Europe. Surveys, rearings, tests of specificity, and in-depth field studies undertaken between 1990 and 1995 have considerably improved our understanding of the complex of natural enemies associated with C. lanatus in its native range. The root-feeding fly, Botanophila turcica Hennig (Dipt.: Anthomyiidae) is herewith recorded for the first time from C. lanatus; the rosette rust fungus, Puccinia sommieriana Saccardo (Basid.: Pucciniaceae) is reported for the first time from C. lanatus in Greece; the flowerhead fly, Urophora mauritanica Macquart (Dipt.: Tephritidae) is shown to concentrate its attacks on C. lanatus in the field in presence of the closely related Carthamus tinctorius L. (cultivated safflower). According to site and year the direct mortality caused by each of these three organisms to populations of C. lanatus fluctuated between 10 and 50\%. In addition, each of them had a whole range of indirect effects of some importance on C. lanatus populations, all of which were also cumulative. Strong phenological (in the case of B. turcica), and practical evidence (field records, plus results of host specificity tests) are presented, and discussed which document the fact that the three phytophagous species may be considered as specifically attacking C. lanatus, but without damaging field crops of its close relative, C. tinctorius. Contrary to traditional belief, biological control may therefore be considered a promising, safe approach for reducing C. lanatus populations.
