Development of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Different Host Fruits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of this work was to determine the biological characteristics of South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Tephritidae) using three fruit hosts. Mature fruits of cherry (Eugenia involucrata DC. (Myrtaceae) (n = 200), guabiroba (Campomanesia xanthocarpa (Mart.) O. Berg. (Myrtaceae) (n=200) and apple Malus domestica Borkh. variety “Gala” (Rosaceae) (n = 100) were placed separately in plastic cages. These fruits were exposed to A. fraterculus for four hours for oviposition. On a daily basis, the resulting larvae and the pupa were separated. Studies on fertility and longevity used 25 pairs of adults that emerged from these fruits. A. fraterculus completed its biological cycle in all fruits tested. The period of development from egg to adult was shorter in fruits of C. xanthocarpa (25.9 days) and E. involucrata (28.6 days) than in those of M. domestica (34.7 days). The pre-oviposition period was shorter in adults, which emerged from fruits of C. xanthocarpa (9.9 days). The results show the importance of native host fruits for population growth of A. fraterculus, and probably, for host availability of larvae of A. fraterculus for natural and applied biological control in the Southern Cone of South America region.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
