Temperature-dependent fecundity and survival data was integrated into a matrix population model to describe relative Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) increase age structure based on environmental conditions. This novel modification of the classic Leslie is presented as way examine how insect populations interact with environment, has application predictor density. For D. suzukii, we examined implications for pest pressure crops. As case studies, predictions in three...
Drosophila suzukii causes economic damage to berry and stone fruit worldwide. Laboratory-generated datasets were standardized combined on the basis of degree days (DD), using Gompertz Cauchy curves for survival reproduction. Eggs transitioned larvae at 20.3 DD; pupae 118.1 adults 200 DD. All are expected have died 610 Oviposition initiates 210 DD gradually increases a maximum 15 eggs per 410 subsequently decreases zero These data used as cohort-level population model. Laboratory under...
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a destructive crop pest native to Southeast Asia that recently invaded countries in Europe and North America, severely impacting commercial fruit production its new host range. Here we report the results of survey aimed at determining presence indigenous D. parasitoid populations carried out from May October 2012 two areas negatively affected by this pest: Trento Province, Northern Italy, Oregon Pacific Northwest USA. We conducted...
Abstract Drosophila suzukii, or spotted-wing drosophila, is now an established pest in many parts of the world, causing significant damage to numerous fruit crop industries. Native East Asia, D. suzukii infestations started United States a decade ago, occupying wide range climates. To better understand invasion ecology this pest, knowledge past migration events, population structure, and genetic diversity needed. In study, we sequenced whole genomes 237 individual flies collected across...

Abstract Drosophila suzukii (Spotted Wing Drosophila) has recently become a serious invasive pest of fruit crops in the USA, Canada, and Europe, leading to substantial economic losses. D. is direct pest, ovipositing directly into ripe or ripening fruits; contrast, other Drosophilids utilize decaying blemished fruits are nuisance pests at worst. Immature stages difficult differentiate from Drosophilids, posing problems for research meeting quarantine restrictions designed prevent spread this...
