Parasitoids that oviposit in a concealed host inside a plant part need to be able to find both the plant and the host. Egg parasitoids of fruit-infesting Tephritidae need to assess the oviposition site based both on the host egg and the infested fruit. Infestation by Tephritidae fruit flies threa...

The tritrophic interactions between mangoes (Mangifera indica), two frugivorous fly species of greateconomic significance, Bactrocera invadens and Ceratitis cosyra, and weaver ants (Oecophylla longinoda)were studied in Benin. We investigated whether Oecophylla cues affect B. invadens and C. cosyr...

Fruit flies are pests of economic importance inWest Africa due to their quarantine status and losses recorded in fruits and vegetables. Before the introduction of exotic species of parasitoids against any exotic fruit fly species, it is fundamental to first determine the presence and monitor the ...
