On the Mascarene Islands, the Ethiopian fruit fly, Dacus ciliatus Loew, is one of the major frugivorous pests of Cucurbitaceae. Both visual and olfactory signals involved in the host location process need to be evaluated to better understand the behaviour of this species, and to improve trapping....
