This fly was first discovered in Suriname in 1975 and it is the subject of an eradication effort in South America centered around Suriname. Approximately 600 newly emerged males and females were released into an outdoor screened cage when they were 2 d old. An ME trap, a potted carambola fruit tree, and adult food were placed in the screened cage. Males began to respond to ME immediately after release. At least 2 males mated with females during exposure to ME, whereas >99% of the males were considered dead by trapping or other factors. These results indicate that the male annihilation technique using ME fiber blocks may be effective in controlling or eradicating B. caramborae. Although many females also responded to ME, at dusk in relative absence of males, only a small number of them were killed with a Steiner-type trap. By changing the trap to a plastic-board ME trap coated with glue, many females were captured, suggesting that development of an ME trap suitable for females would accelerate the control of this fly. © 1996 Entomological Society of America Ecology and Population Biology nationallicence Bactrocera carambolae nationallicence methyl eugenol nationallicence response by males nationallicence response by females nationallicence daily periodicity nationallicence trapping nationallicence Iwahashi Osamu aut Syamusdin-Subahar Tati Suryati Department of Biology, Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia. aut Sastrodihardjo Soelaksono Department of Biology, Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia. aut Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/5(1996-09-01), 653-660 0013-8746 89:5<653 1996 89 aesa https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.5.653 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/89.5.653 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Iwahashi Osamu aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Syamusdin-Subahar Tati Suryati Department of Biology, Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sastrodihardjo Soelaksono Department of Biology, Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Annals of the Entomological Society of America Oxford University Press 89/5(1996-09-01), 653-660 0013-8746 89:5<653 1996 89 aesa Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
