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).”
Effects of irradiation dose rate on quality and sterility of Queensland fruit flies, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (2008, methodology): “In 10 days after adult emergence, when at maximum sexual activity (Perez-Staples et al. 2007), each cage was provided with an oviposition substrate comprising a parafilm-covered 90-mm petri dish containing water and food-grade lemon essence (Queen Fine Foods Pty Ltd, Alderley, QLD, Australia) in a…”
The ecology of Bactrocera tryoni (Diptera: Tephritidae): what do we know to assist pest management? (2011, background): “Both male and female B. tryoni need protein in order to sexually mature (Meats & Leighton, 2004; Perez-Staples et al., 2007, 2008).”
