Resumen
Seasonal and annual trends in Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) populations were analyzed to
determine the factors that influence population fluctuations in the field. Adult flies were monitored along 2003-07 in
two citrus areas in eastern Spain with similar climate, Valencia and Tarragona. Adults were present throughout the
study period, even in winter. The initial annual population increase was related to previous winter and spring temperatures. Captures started to increase in April-May and usually reached a peak in July. This peak corresponded to the
maximum capture period in Valencia, but not in Tarragona, where there was usually a second peak in autumn, with
capture levels similar to the first peak. Gravid females were found throughout the year, even in overwintering populations
of medfly. The availability of other host fruit species in the vicinity of the citrus groves may explain the differences
in annual abundance and distribution of captures between the two areas studied.
