The scarcity of fundamental biological, physiological and ecological information on this pest, particularly in relation to behavioural response to phytochemical lures, which are instrumental to the success of many area-wide fruit fly control and management programmes, underpins the need for studies on this much-underrated pest. The positive response of\n                    <jats:italic>B. umbrosa<\/jats:italic>\n                    males to methyl eugenol (ME), a highly potent phytochemical lure, which attracts mainly males of many\n                    <jats:italic>Bactrocera<\/jats:italic>\n                    species, was shown to increase with increasing age. As early as 7 days after emergence (DAE),\n                    <jats:italic>ca.<\/jats:italic>\n                    22% of males had responded to ME and over 50% by 10 DAE, despite no occurrence of matings (i.e. the males were still sexually immature). Male attraction to ME peaked from 10 to 27 DAE, which corresponded with the flies\u2019 attainment of sexual maturity. In wind-tunnel assays during the dusk courtship period, ME-fed males exhibited earlier calling activity and attracted a significantly higher percentage of virgin females compared with ME-deprived males. ME-fed males enjoyed a higher mating success than ME-deprived males at 1-day post ME feeding in semi-field assays. ME consumption also promotes aggregation behaviour in\n                    <jats:italic>B. umbrosa<\/jats:italic>\n                    males, as demonstrated in wind-tunnel and semi-field assays. We suggest that ME plays a prominent role in promoting sexual communication and enhancing mating performance of the Artocarpus fruit fly, a finding that is congruent with previous reports on the consequences of ME acquisition by other economically important\n                    <jats:italic>Bactrocera<\/jats:italic>\n                    species.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007485317000554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,19]],"date-time":"2017-06-19T02:56:45Z","timestamp":1497841005000},"page":"116-124","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Attraction and consumption of methyl eugenol by male\n                    <i>Bactrocera umbrosa<\/i>\n                    Fabricius (Diptera: Tephritidae) promotes conspecific sexual communication and mating performance"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"S.L.","family":"Wee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.Z.","family":"Abdul Munir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.K.W.","family":"Hee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007485317000554_ref27","first-page":"521","article-title":"Population suppression of fruit fly, Dacus zonata (Saund.)
