    Notes: Summary Demographic parameters for the Mediterranean fruit fly reared on each of twenty four different hosts from sixteen different plant families are reported. These include cohort parameters of development, survival, pupal sizc, and fecundity as well as population parameters such as intrinsic rate of population increase (r) and mean generation time. Major findings include the following: i) no consistent quantitative relationships existed between r and its chief demographic determinants such as preadult developmental time and adult fecundity; and ii) few correlations existed among the cohort life history parameters themselves. The principle conclusion is that the medfly is a successful generalist frugivore because of its developmental ability to offset the effect of the value for a host-specific trait that tends to lower r with one that tends to increase r, the net result of which is to maintain a relatively high r.

    Notes: Abstract Individuals of three Anastrepha species: A. obliqua, A. ludens, and A. serpentina (Diptera: Tephritidae), were sorted according to pupal weight in cohorts of large and small flies. Demographic parameters and reproductive patterns and heterogeneity were determined for each cohort. Large flies of the three species presented greater expectation of life and gross fecundity rates. A. ludens was the species with the longest life span (expectation of life of large adults was 110 days) and the greatest gross fecundity rates (1597 eggs/female for the large flies). While, A. obliqua had the shortest mean age of reproduction (33 days), and the greatest daily egg production (14 eggs/female/day). Net fecundity was similar in these two. A. serpentina had lower fecundity rates. Reproductive information for each size and each species include: age-by-parity relations, fraction of sexually mature life in which females lay eggs, and frequency distribution of individual egg production. Results demonstrate that even under constant laboratory conditions and using standard artificial hosts, there is a great deal of life history variation among these Anastrepha species and among other tephritid fruit flies.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'examen a porté sur l'influence du polymorphisme et des modifications dues à l'âge des mouches sur la fécondité et la taille des pontes de A. ludens Loew (Dipt. Tephritidae). L'étude a concerné aussi l'influence de la dimension, de la couleur et de la densité des hôtes sur la taille des pontes. Des mouches isolées ou par groupes ont reçu des hôtes artificiels formés de sphères d'agar enveloppées dans du parafilm. La fécondité brute de femelles isolées a été de 1000 oeufs/femelle et de 165 pontes/femelle, avec une variation de 1 à 40 oeufs/ponte. La taille moyenne des pontes des différentes femelles isolées s'étalait de 4,5 à 10,6 oeufs/ponte. Le nombre d'oeufs/ponte des femelles groupées était fortement liée à la dimension de l'hôte, s'étalant de 4,4 oeufs/ponte pour des hôtes de 2 cm de diamètre à 12,7 oeufs/ponte pour ceux de 11 cm de diamètre. Ni la couleur et la densité des hôtes, ni la densité et l'âge des mouches n'ont influé sur la taille des pontes. Ces résultats suggèrent que les variabilités du comportement des femelles et de la dimension des hôtes déterminent par priorité la taille des pontes de A. ludens.
    Notes: Abstract We document individual and age-specific variation in reproductive output and clutch size of Anastrepha ludens Loew. (Diptera: Tephritidae). The influence of host size, color, and density on clutch size are also examined. Individual and groups of flies were offered artificial hosts composed of agar spheres wrapped in Parafilm. The gross reproduction rate of individual flies was 1000 eggs/female and 165 clutches/female with a range of 1 to 40 eggs/clutch. Mean clutch sizes for these females ranged from 4.5 to 10.6 eggs/clutch. The number of eggs/clutch laid by females held in groups was highly correlated with host size, ranging from about 4.4 eggs/clutch in 2 cm diameter hosts to 12.7 eggs/clutch in 11 cm hosts. Host color, host density, fly density, and fly age did not affect clutch size. This study suggests that variation among females and host size are the principal determinants of clutch size in A. ludens.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les femelles de C. capitata ont été privées d'hôtes suivant 4 modalités pendant 3 durées (33, 50 et 67% de leur vie) par période de 24 heures. Les modalités se répartissaient de la privation pendant 8 jours après l'éclosion jusqu'à 1 jour sur 3. La survie a été notée chaque jour et la ponte pour tous les jours où il y avait des hôtes. L'effect direct de l'absence d'hôte est d'empêcher la femelle de pondre. Ceci interrompt leur cycle de ponte et réduit leur activité reproductrice totale. Un effort reproductif réduit des femelles jeunes augmente la survie (jusqu'à 2 fois) et la ponte quotidienne (jusqu'à 8 fois) chez les femelles plus âgées. Ainsi, l'effet à long terme de la privation d'hôtes est d'ajourner la sénescence. Les implications de ces observations sur la sénescence de C. capitata sont discutées quant à: (1) la réduction des taux d'extinction des populations pendant les périodes de rareté d'hôtes; et: (2) les stratégies d'obtention de pontes dan les élevages de masse de C. capitata.
    Notes: Abstract Female medflies were subjected to four different patterns of host deprivation at each of three levels for a 24-day period. Treatments ranged from host absence 8 days post-eclosion to host absence 2 out of 3 days. Survival was recorded daily and egg production was recorded on the days in which hosts were present. The direct effect of host deprivation is to deny females the opportunity to oviposit. This disrupts their reproductive cycle and reduces their overall reproductive effort. Reduced reproductive effort at young ages increases survival (up to 2-fold) and daily reproduction (up to 8-fold) at older ages. Therefore, the long term effect of host deprivation is to postpone senescence. The implications of these findings regarding medfly sensescence are discussed in relation to: (i) reduction in population extinction rates during periods of host scarcity and (ii) egging strategies in medfly mass-rearing.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le Phylloxera de la vigne, Viteus vitifolii Shimer, a été élevé sur des racines coupées en boîte de Pétri. Les tables de vie ont été établies en utilisant deux variétés sensibles de Vitis vinifera L. (Cabernet—Sauvignon et Muscat d' Alexandrie) et deux variétés résistantes de Vitis rupestris (Saint Georges en Ganzin I). Sur les variétés résistantes, le Phylloxera avait des taux de fixation du premier stade plus faibles (24 et 9.5%) que sur les variétés sensibles (57 et 36%). De la même façon, les taux bruts (G.R.R.) et nets (R0) de la reproduction étaient plus bas sur les variétés résistantes que sur les variétés sensibles. La durée moyenne d'une génération (T) était variable (19 à 49 jours) et ne paraissait pas liée à la sensibilité des variétés. Le taux net d'accroissement (λ) était inférieur à 1 sur les variétés résistantes, contre 1,06 et 1,10 sur les variétés sensibles. Sur Cabernet—Sauvignon, le Phylloxera avait des valeurs de G.R.R., R0 et T supérieures sur les tubérosités que sur les nodosités. Cependant les valeurs de λ étaient à peu près égales (1,05 et 1,07, respectivement) sur les tubérosités et les nodosités.
    Notes: Summary Grape phylloxera, Viteus vitifolii Shimer, were reared on excised grape roots maintained in petri-dish chambers. Life tables were constructed using 2 susceptible rootstocks, Vitis vinifera L. Cabernet Sauvignon and Muscat of Alexandria, and 2 resistant rootstocks V. rupestris St. George and Ganzin I. Phylloxera on the resistant varieties had lower rates of 1st-instar establishment (24% and 9.5%) than on the susceptible varieties (57% and 36%). Similarly, gross reproductive rates (GRR) and net reproductive rates (R0) on the resistant varieties were lower than on the susceptible varieties. Mean generation times (T) were variable (19–49 days) and appeared not to be related to rootstock susceptibility. Finite rates of increase (λ) were less than 1.0 on the resistant varieties, and 1.06 and 1.10 on the susceptible varieties. Phylloxera on Cabernet Sauvignon tuberosities had higher GRR, R0 and T-values than on the nodosities. However, λ-values were nearly equal, 1.05 and 1.07 on the tuberosities and nodosities, respectively.
