The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has been used successfully to control or eradicate fruit flies. The commonly observed inferiority of mass-reared males, compared with wild males, when they are paired with wild females, is apparently due to their inadequate courtship. Anastrepha ludens males produce two types of wing vibration during courtship and mating, the “calling sound” and the “premating or precopulatory sound”. There were clear differences in the calling songs between successful and unsuccessful courtships in sterile (irradiated) and fertile Mexican flies. Among sterile flies, successful males produce longer buzzes, shorter interpulses and a higher power spectrum in the signal. Fertile flies showed the same trend. For mating songs a significant difference occurred in two parameters: power spectrum between sterile and fertile flies with respect to the type of song, and the signal duration and intensity were greater in non-irradiated flies. Calling songs of wild flies compared with laboratory grown flies from Mexico had shorter interpulses, longer pulses, and a greater power spectrum. However, in the case of premating songs, the only difference was in the intensity, which was significantly greater in wild males. An unexpected result was not observing pulses during pheromone deposition in wild males from Costa Rica. Comparing the premating songs of wild flies from Costa Rica and Mexico, no significant differences were observed in the duration, and the intensity of the signal was slightly greater in flies from Mexico. |

La inferioridad comúnmente observada de machos criados masivamente, comparada con los machos silvestres, cuando se aparean con las hembras silvestres es al parecer debido a su inadecuado cortejo. Los machos de Anastrepha ludens producen dos tipos de vibraciones del ala durante cortejo y el apareamiento, una de “llamada” y “el sonido de pre-apareamiento o precopulatorio”. Se encontraron diferencias claras en las canciones de llamada entre los cortejos exitosos y no exitosos en moscas estériles y fértiles de Mexico. En las moscas estériles, los machos exitosos producen zumbidos más largos, interpulsos más cortos y un espectro de una energía más alta en la señal. Las moscas fértiles mostraron la misma tendencia. Para las canciones precopulatorias hay diferencias significativas en dos parámetros: el espectro de energía entre las moscas irradiadas y no irradiadas también observadas con respecto al tipo de canción, y la duración y la intensidad de la señal fueron mayores en moscas no irradiadas. Las canciones de llamada de las moscas silvestres comparadas con las de laboratorio de México tenían interpulsos más cortos, pulsos más largos, y un mayor espectro de energía. Sin embargo, en el caso de canciones precopulatorias, la única diferencia estaba en la intensidad, que era perceptiblemente mayor en machos silvestres. Un resultado inesperado fue no observar canciones de llamada durante la deposición de la feromona en machos silvestres de Costa Rica. Al comparar las canciones precopulatorias de moscas silvestres de Costa Rica y de México, no se observó ninguna diferencia significativa en la duración, ni en la intensidad de la señal The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has been used successfully to control or eradicate fruit flies.
