Title
Population Dynamics of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly in Montenegro
Abstract
Population dynamics of the Mediterranean fruit fly were studied along the Montenegro seacoast. Tephri traps baited with 3 component female-biased attractants were used in 11 different localities to monitor the fruit fly population in commercial citrus orchards, mixed-fruit orchards, and in backyards. From 2008–2010, the earliest captures were recorded no earlier than July. In 2011, the first adult fly was detected in mid-June. Low capture rates were recorded in July and August (below 0.5 flies per trap per day; FTD) and peaked from mid-September to the end of October of each year. Our results indicate fluctuation of fly per trap per day depending on dates of inspection and locality, with significant differences in the adult population density. A maximum population was always reached in the area of Budva-Herceg Novi with an FTD of 66.5, 89.5, 71.63, and 24.64 (from 2008–2011 respectively). Fly activity lasts from mid-June/early-July to end December, with distinct seasonal variation in the population.

Interview with Professor Jamie DaviesI found the submission management system for Evolutionary Bioinformatics to be one of the most user-friendly around. The peer review was very rigorous and constructive. Support staff were polite and furnished accurate information almost instantly. I strongly recommend other scientists to consider this journal.
