Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the chemical makeup of five Piper species and their effects on the fruit fly Drosophila suzukii and its parasitoid Trichopria anastrephae.
- Major compounds found were various types of terpenes, which showed high toxicity in bioassays, particularly from P. aduncum, P. gaudichaudianum, and P. marginatum, killing nearly all adult flies.
- While these essential oils were effective at controlling the fruit flies, they were relatively safe to the parasitoid, showing low mortality, suggesting potential use of Piper oils as natural insecticides.
The aim was to broaden knowledge on the cytogenetics of the subtribe Meliponina, by furnishing cytogenetic data as a contribution to the characterization of bees from the genus Oxytrigona. Individuals of the species Oxytrigona cf. flaveola, members of a colony from Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, were studied.
