Abstract
⺠We studied lure effects on the mating behaviour and physiology of Bactrocera tryoni. ⺠Lure-fed males had high propensity to mate in no-choice and choice conditions. ⺠Females mated to lure-fed had higher fecundity and showed reduced remating. ⺠Longevity of lure-fed males and females mated to them was shorter than unfed rivals. ⺠Male lures are involved in sexual selection in Bactrocera tryoni.
