Methoprene treatment increases activity, starvation and desiccation risk of Queensland fruit fly

Saleh Mohammad Adnan et al.

Summary: Juvenile hormone is crucial for the sexual development of insects. The use of methoprene can accelerate sexual maturation in insects, but it may also increase their vulnerability to starvation and desiccation.

Combined Effects of Methoprene and Metformin on Reproduction, Longevity, and Stress Resistance in Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae): Implications for the Sterile Insect Technique

Eva Aceves-Aparicio et al.

Summary: The study suggests that accelerating sexual maturation in flies with methoprene significantly reduces survival in both sexes of two different fly strains. However, adding metformin to the diet buffers this negative effect without reducing mating propensity compared to males treated only with methoprene. The response to metformin is sex-specific, with females responding better to high doses of the substance and males responding better to low doses.

Feeding on methoprene increases male accessory gland size and body protein in the Mexican fruit fly

Martha Reyes-Hernandez et al.

Summary: Methoprene has been shown to increase male mating frequency and accessory gland size in Anastrepha ludens males. It positively affects the amount of sperm stored by females and body protein content, but does not influence the remating propensity of wild females. The use of Methoprene as a pre-release supplement can have a positive impact on the early sexual maturation, energy reserves, and male reproductive organs of A. ludens males in SIT programs controlling this pest.

The Sterile Insect Technique: Success and Perspectives in the Neotropics

D. Perez-Staples et al.

Summary: The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly control method used in the area-wide integrated pest management against various pests. It has been successful in the Neotropics, particularly in eradicating pests like the Mediterranean fruit fly, Mexican fruit fly, New World screwworm fly, and Cactus moth. Efforts to improve SIT's efficiency and explore complementary techniques have been made, with a focus on potential candidate species for SIT control and the impact of climate change on pest management.
