- Current knowledge of interactions between Drosophila suzukii and microbes, and their potential utility for pest management (2016, background): “Additionally, fermentation products enhance Drosophila responses to the male pheromone during courtship (Bartelt et al. 1985; Lebreton et al. 2012, 2015), increase female sexual receptivity (Gorter et al. 2016) and mediate oviposition behaviour (Joseph et al. 2009; Becher et al. 2012).”
- Consequences of a nectar yeast for pollinator preference and performance (2017, background): “phila have been shown to rely on yeasts and yeast odours to aid in location of plant hosts for food and reproduction (Becher et al. 2012; Witzgall et al. 2012).”
- Environmentally sustainable pest control options for Drosophila suzukii (2018, background): “Yeasted baits have been used in Drosophila traps for a long time (Reed, 1938) and yeast- associated volatiles are more important than fruitproduced volatiles for the host location of flies that depend on overripe fruit for food, oviposition and larval development (Becher et al., 2012).”
- Life‐history trade‐offs under different larval diets in Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) (2015, background): “By contrast to other drosophilid species, in which larvae develop on rotting fruits and forage on the associated yeast (Begon, 1983; Markow & O’Grady, 2008; Becher et al., 2012), D. suzukii are able to lay their eggs beneath the skin of intact, ripening fruit (Rota-Stabelli et al., 2013).”
