Current knowledge of interactions between Drosophila suzukii and microbes, and their potential utility for pest management (2016, background): “On the host substrate, Drosophila larval feeding positively affects yeast density, and decreases the development of mould fungi (Wertheim et al. 2002; Stamps et al. 2012; Caballero Oritz et al. 2013).”
Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation (2008, background): “Increased adult densities on the fruit prior to larval development yielded higher larval survival, thought to be because adult flies inoculated the fruit with yeasts which in turn reduced fungal growth detrimental to developing larvae (Wertheim et al. 2002).”
Influence of dietary yeasts on Drosophila melanogaster life‐history traits (2010, background): “Especially due to the aggregative egg-laying behaviour of many female Drosophila species, larvae are often prone to exploitation and interference competition, which may lead to fitness losses (Atkinson, 1979; Scheiring et al., 1984; Hoffmeister & Rohlfs, 2001; Agnew et al., 2002; Wertheim et al., 20”
