Post‐teneral protein feeding enhances sexual performance of Queensland fruit flies (2007, background): “In addition to these species with opposite effects of dietary protein on the duration of copulation, in A. serpentina , A. ludens and A. obliqua this appears to be unaffected by adult diet ( Aluja et al. , 2001b ).”
Potential for pre‐release diet supplements to increase the sexual performance and longevity of male Queensland fruit flies (2008, background): “Likewise, in Anastrepha striata, Anastrepha serpentina and Anastrepha obliqua, (but not Anastrepha ludens ), males fed protein-rich diets exhibit higher calling frequency and mating success than males fed protein-poor diets ( Aluja et al. , 2001 ).”
Improving sterile male performance in support of programmes integrating the sterile insect technique against fruit flies (2013, background): “…hydrolysate to males in the days following emergence can enhance male reproductive success, although the optimal dosage and form of presentation in an operational context still need to be established (Papadopoulos et al. 1998; Kaspi and Yuval 2000; Aluja et al. 2001; Pérez-Staples et al. 2007).”
