This study explores whether the endophytes <jats:italic>Alcaligenes faecalis</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>Aureobasidium pullulans</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>Bacillus amyloliquefaciens</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic>Penicillium commune</jats:italic> can trigger the emission of repellent volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in olive trees, targeting <jats:italic>B. oleae</jats:italic> . Accordingly, olive trees were inoculated with each endophyte or with buffer (control), and after 3 months, both fruits and leaves were collected to perform olfactometer assays and to evaluate VOCs by HS-SPME and GC–MS. <jats:italic>Alcaligenes faecalis</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>A. pullulans</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic>B. amyloliquefaciens</jats:italic> were found to significantly repel <jats:italic>B. oleae</jats:italic> females, with each treatment inducing a distinct VOC profile. <jats:italic>Alcaligenes faecalis</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>B. amyloliquefaciens</jats:italic> were characterized by higher levels of alkenes, including o-cymene and d-limonene, while <jats:italic>P. commune</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>A. pullulans</jats:italic> induced the emission of alkanes. Six VOCs were found to be negatively correlated with fly entries in the olfactometer assays, with beta-myrcene being the most prominent, followed by d-limonene, o-cymene, and 5-octadecene (E). These repellent VOCs were positively correlated with each other, indicating that their combined emission may produce synergistic effects, potentially enhancing their repellency. In contrast, 1, 4-hexadiene, 5-methyl-3-(1-methyl ethylidene) was identified as an attractant, showing a strong positive correlation with fly entries, and appeared to be produced through different biosynthetic pathways than the repellent VOCs. Overall, this work identifies three endophytes and a combination of repellent VOCs as promising new strategies for sustainable management of the olive fruit fly.","PeriodicalId":16736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pest Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146138408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several species, in the genus <jats:italic>Cacopsylla</jats:italic> , are known as pests of fruit trees in Europe and adjacent countries. Interestingly, some species are multivoltine, such as the pear psyllids <jats:italic>Cacopsylla pyri</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. pyricola</jats:italic> , while closely related psyllid species of pear, plum, and apple ( <jats:italic>C. pyrisuga</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>C. pruni</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic>C. picta,</jats:italic> resp.) are univoltine and migrate between Rosaceae fruit tree species and evergreen conifers in higher regions. Therefore, the latter species have to cover great distances between their two diverging habitats. To uncover adaptations of the flight behavior and ability to the different life-history strategies, the flight of migrating ( <jats:italic>C. pruni</jats:italic> ) and non-migrating ( <jats:italic>C. pyri and C. pyricola</jats:italic> ) psyllids is investigated with a flight mill, showing that the seasonal migration of <jats:italic>C. pruni</jats:italic> correlates with the motivation to initiate long straight distance flights, indeed. Interestingly, <jats:italic>C. pyri</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. pyricola</jats:italic> showed great differences in their flight motivation and performance, indicating a greater dispersal propensity of <jats:italic>C. pyri</jats:italic> than <jats:italic>C. pyricola</jats:italic> . In addition, the determination of the protein, soluble carbohydrate, and glycogen content of pear psyllids revealed the consumption of carbohydrates during the psyllids’ flight. The content of the energetic resources is discussed in relation to their flight propensity.","PeriodicalId":16736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pest Science","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146005623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
