Overwintering Abilities of SWD • Little is known in literature • 400 flies (Kanzawa

Overwintering Abilities of SWD • Little is known in literature • 400 flies (Kanzawa 1939) • <1% survival over 3 years • Trap catch shows same trend • Winter refuges & heat island effect (Coop and Dreves Unpublished) • Late fall morph • Increased cold acclimation ability ons c Si mm Eri (Shearer and Brown Unpublished Data) Oregon State University | Crop and Soil Sci.

Overwintering Abilities of Drosophila Family • D. melanogaster species group • Stored triacylglycerols (Ohtsu

Overwintering Abilities of Drosophila Family • D. melanogaster species group • Stored triacylglycerols (Ohtsu et al. 1993) • Cold hardening and acclimation (Rajamohan et al. 2009) • D. pseudoobscura • Reproductive diapause (Collett et al. 2001) • Fertile sperm storage (Collett et al. 2001) Oregon State University | Crop and Soil Sci.

Behavior of SWD • Fall • Decomposing and late harvest fruits • splitting grapes, decomposing apples, figs, walnut, persimmons • Winter • Shift in abundance from crops to bordering trees • Blueberries to surrounding trees • Spray fields show greater SWD abundance than no spray • Spring • Feeding prior to oviposition Oregon State University | Crop and Soil Sci.
