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. The ecological importance of this finding for temperate, fruit-producing regions of the world is discussed.10aCeratitis capitata10aCold tolerance10aOverwintering10aTephritidae1 aPapadopoulos, N.T.1 aCarey, J.R.1 aKatsoyannos, B.I.1 aKouloussis, N.A.  uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/overwintering-mediterranean-fruit-fly-diptera-tephritidae-northern-greece02578nas a2200229   4500008004100000245010800041210006900149260001200218300001000230490000700240520178700247653002302034653002102057653002002078653002402098653001302122100002302135700002202158700001602180700002102196856013102217       2001                        eng d00aSeasonal and annual occurrence of the mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) in northern Greece0 aSeasonal and annual occurrence of the mediterranean fruit fly Di  c2001///  a41-500 v943 aThe phenology and population dynamics of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), were studied from 1991 to 1995 using Jackson traps baited with trimedlure and periodic fruit sampling in two orchards in Thessaloniki northern Greece (40.3° north latitude, 22.5° longitude). 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. Practical and theoretical implications concerning the population dynamics and the control of this fly are discussed.10aCeratitis capitata10aHost infestation10anorthern Greece10aPopulation dynamics10atrapping1 aPapadopoulos, N.T.1 aKatsoyannos, B.I.1 aCarey, J.R.1 aKouloussis, N.A.  uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/seasonal-and-annual-occurrence-mediterranean-fruit-fly-diptera-tephritidae-northern-greece
