• Improving sterile male performance in support of programmes integrating the sterile insect technique against fruit flies (2013, methodology): “In the case of C. capitata, exposure to ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) root oil or citrus oils (by contact or vapour) enhances considerably the mating competitiveness of wild or mass-reared males (Katsoyannos et al. 1997; Papadopoulos et al. 2001; Shelly 2001).”
• MEDFLY AREAWIDE STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE PROGRAMMES FOR PREVENTION, SUPPRESSION OR ERADICATION: THE IMPORTANCE OF MATING BEHAVIOR STUDIES (2002, background): “Other recent developments in the same field (Shelly, 2001) show that, medfly males fed on ginger oil are sexually more competitive than normal males.”
• Bacterially enriched diet improves sexual performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies (2011, background): “Shelly and co-workers have repeatedly shown that holding sterile males in an environment containing the volatile parapheromone a-copaene significantly improves their sexual performance (Shelly 2001; Shelly et al. 2004, 2009).”
