The effects of diet and semiochemical exposure on male Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) metabolic rate at a range of temperatures.

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an invasive species that has rapidly spread across the African continent, endangering the security of agricultural industries. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is being investigated as a viable additional pest management tool to suppress B. dorsalis populations after its successful implementation in other parts of the world. There is evidence to suggest that pre-release nutritional and semiochemical treatments for sterilised males can enhance their competitive performance against wild type males in SIT programs. This study examined how sterilisation, a diet rich in protein (addition of yeast hydrolysate) or containing semiochemicals (methyl eugenol or eugenol) affected the resting metabolic (RMR) of male B. dorsalis at different temperatures (15 - 30 °C), measured using flow-through respirometry. Our results indicated that the negative effect of sterilisation on RMR decreased as temperature increased and that duration of exposure to semiochemicals for 1 to 4 days was not a significant influencing factor on male B. dorsalis RMR. Protein-rich diet increased average RMR, but the difference in RMR between dietary groups decreased as temperature increased. Semiochemical feeding reduced the average RMR in male B. dorsalis. The difference in RMR between males that consumed semiochemical and those that did not increased with as temperature increased.
