Overwintered Drosophila suzukii Are the Main Source for Infestations of the First Fruit Crops of the Season

The mechanisms allowing the widespread invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to survive from early spring until the availability of the first fruit crops are still unclear. Seasonal biology and population dynamics of D. suzukii were investigated in order to better understand the contribution of the early...
