Seasonal abundance and diversity of family Drosophilidae (Diptera) and records of some other dipterans in fruit orchards in Aydın Province (Türkiye)

Abstract

The composition and seasonality of the populations of Drosophilidae (Diptera) species were evaluated, along with some other dipteran species, in three fruit orchards in Aydın Province. Bait traps with grape vinegar were used for collecting drosophilids from September 2018 to January 2020. The family Drosophilidae was represented by 11 species, and additionally, 10 other fly species from seven families were found in the same traps. The dominant drosophilid species was Drosophila subobscura Collin, 1936 among 1 964 individuals trapped in the three orchards, followed by Drosophila immigrans Sturtevant, 1921, Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, 1830, Zaprionus tuberculatus Malloch, 1932 and Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, 1931. The highest number of drosophilids were trapped in April 2019, 1 836 specimens in total. The population of drosophilids varied with season, with the first peak in April 2019 and the second in November-December in 2019. Drosophilids were trapped in low numbers during the summer months. As part of this study, Aulacigaster falcata Papp, 1997 (Diptera: Aulacigastridae) was recorded in Türkiye for the first time.
