Number of eggs (± SD) produced per female per day by the Mediterranean fruit fly genetic sexing strains VIENNA 8, VIENNA 8-Sr<sup>2</sup> and VIENNA 8–1260 under semi mass-rearing conditions.
<p>Means followed by the same letter do no differ significantly (Tukey-Kramer HSD, α = 0.05).</p
Mating latency (min) and mating duration (min) among three laboratory strains of Mediterranean fruit fly and a wild-type Argentina strain.
<p>Average mating latency or duration ± standard deviation is presented, couples observed are presented in parenthesis. First column for each parameter presents results collected from competitiveness study cages, second column presents results collected from control cages. Within the columns, numbers followed by the same letter do no differ significantly (Tukey-Kramer HSD, α = 0.05).</p
Mediterranean fruit fly genetic sexing strains VIENNA 8, VIENNA 8-Sr<sup>2</sup> and VIENNA 8–1260 egg hatch (% ± SD) data during the course of eight generations under semi mass-rearing conditions.
<p>Mediterranean fruit fly genetic sexing strains VIENNA 8, VIENNA 8-Sr<sup>2</sup> and VIENNA 8–1260 egg hatch (% ± SD) data during the course of eight generations under semi mass-rearing conditions.</p
RSI indices from mating competitiveness experiments with three laboratory strains of the Mediterranean fruit fly tested against a wild-type Argentina population in field cages.
<p>Couples observed for each type of mating, RSI values± SD with chi-square results (<i>p</i> > 0.05) showed equal mating propensity. Number of couples from each strain followed by same letter are not significantly different from each other (Tukey-Kramer HSD, α = 0.05) and numbers of cages that have been taken into account (>50% of total expected) in parenthesis.</p
Egg hatch (%) of three strains of Mediterranean fruit fly, presenting the effect of irradiation on males and females at different generations under mass-rearing conditions (10 days of egg collection for each generation were tested for successful hatching).
<p>For the sterile sex of each one of the following combinations, the sterilizing dose was 100 Gy delivered from Co<sup>60</sup> source. Average and standard deviation of egg hatch percentage are presented, total number of eggs examined are presented in parenthesis.</p
