5 Dedicated to the Memory of Robert R. Heath [ ] and Donald A. Lindquist [ ] Bob Heath s expertise in the development and application of insect semiochemicals along with Don Lindquist s vision and coordination of full scale multinational programs to test novel approaches have resulted in substantial advances in the use of trapping for tephritid fruit fly detection and control.

7 Preface This project emerged from three simple facts: (i) Certain species of tephritid fruit flies are among the world s most notorious pests of commercially important fruits and vegetables; (ii) trapping these flies is vital to identifying infestations, controlling detected populations, and establishing guidelines for international transport of agricultural commodities; and (iii) despite its central role, there exists no comprehensive repository of factual or theoretical material relating specifically to trapping issues for economically important Tephritidae. While the editors (and we assume many of the authors) would admit to a scientific fascination with this group of insects, production of a volume devoted strictly to trapping of a relatively small number of pest species reflects, not just this scientific curiosity, but also the serious impact these pests have on global commerce. As Aldo Malavasi notes in his Introductory Remarks, every major fruit and vegetable growing county in the world maintains some program relating to surveillance and control of tephritid fruit fly pests. Thus, trapping issues concern scientists, regulatory agencies, and trade organizations in countries of every continent, from Australia and Brazil through the alphabet to Yemen and Zimbabwe. We thank all the authors for their contributions, which were produced without financial compensation. Collectively, they exhibited a spirit of industry, cooperation, and patience that smoothed the task of editing. We extend special thanks to A. Malavasi, who graciously provided introductory remarks. TS also thanks J.C. Stewart, who allowed him time to initiate and complete this project. Each chapter was reviewed by at least one editor and at least one external reviewer. We extend deep appreciation and gratitude to the following individuals, who served as reviewers: R. Dowell, J. Duan, R. Duthie, W. Enkerlin, Y. Gazit, S. Geib, T. Holler, P. Kendra, L. Leblanc, A.

8 viii Preface Our goal was to produce a comprehensive synthesis of tephritid-centric trapping issues, and accordingly the topics included are far-ranging and address lures and traps, population ecology and detection, suppression and eradication strategies, and regulatory issues. We hope we have achieved this goal and that this volume proves useful for years to come. Waimanalo, HI, USA Todd Shelly Miami, FL, USA Nancy Epsky Hilo, HI, USA Eric B.

9 Introductory Remarks From an economic point of view, true fruit flies are, by far, the most important insect family attacking horticultural crops. Tephritid flies cause both direct losses and also indirect losses as their presence can result in major international trading constraints. Total damage caused in all production, harvesting, packing, and marketing worldwide is estimated to amount to more than 2 billion dollars annually. Their economic and trading importance is so high that in every fruit growing country there is at least one unit dedicated to fruit fly detection and control under the National Plant Protection Organization. In this context, an essential issue is to determine the density and distribution of fruit fly populations in the field. In all cases, fly populations vary from zero to high numbers, depending on many factors, but mainly host availability and climate conditions. All this critical information, obtained mainly through trapping, is required to design the most effective strategies in order to suppress or eliminate the population. The big challenge for researchers and managers of action programs is to choose the best trapping system available for a particular growing area or region and for a specific fruit fly species or group of species. Four critical parameters are involved: trap type, fly attractant, trap density, and service interval. Once such parameters are defined, the operation and logistics of the surveillance network need to be planned to provide the most accurate possible estimates of the actual fruit fly populations in the field whether an orchard or vegetable field, natural vegetation or an urban area, or an area-wide landscape that includes a mosaic of these different types of areas. Defining the optimal trap type and fly attractant is an endless task. Both by chance or by active search, many researchers in all countries are deeply involved in developing more effective, selective, inexpensive, and easier to handle combinations of trap and attractant. A huge number of solutions can be found in the literature or in local/regional fruit fly manuals. However, there is a worldwide effort to harmonize the solutions in order to have comparable data that can be internationally recognized. ix

10 x Introductory Remarks The fruit fly trapping system selected affects a wide range of stakeholders and interests, from the government officer in charge of a detection program, to the grower that needs to know the population density in his orchard to start control measures, and up to the packers and trading partners who import or export horticultural products. With the ever increasing invasive process linked to globalization, resulting in the movement of exotic fruit flies to all corners of the world, reliable detection programs are essential to plant protection services with the responsibility to safeguard their countries from unwanted new fruit fly pests. Furthermore, many exporting programs must have in place an efficient trapping system to help both growers and inspectors make the right decisions regarding the fresh fruit to be exported. Also, in cases of a systems approach, where a low resident adult population is acceptable, the monitoring of fruit flies is a critical issue to guarantee the quality of the commodity. In countries or regions considered fruit fly free, an essential component is a surveillance system to demonstrate to trading partners the absence of the target species. In conclusion, the establishment of a trapping system should take into consideration many elements from natural history to genetics and modeling, from design to cost and logistics, from international plant protection standards to international trade, and this exhaustive book will be an extremely valuable source of information for all readers in this respect. Many experts with deep knowledge and actual field experience on fruit fly trapping contributed to this book. Here, for the first time, very valuable information often not found in the refereed literature is consolidated, reviewed and synthesized, not only for the fruit fly community fruit fly technical officers, plant protection inspectors, trappers in charge of surveillance and managers that need to update their trapping program but also for common growers and academic researchers with interest on fruit fly biology. The editors of this book are commended for their comprehensive effort. Biofabrica Moscamed Brazil, Juazeiro, BA, Brazil Aldo Malavasi
