Impact of Mulches on Floral Visitors in Day‐Neutral Strawberries and Contribution of Syrphid Flies to Strawberry Pollination

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1157-1167, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Animal‐mediated pollination is essential for the production of many specialty crops, with insects, primarily bees, serving as the predominant pollinators in many agroecosystems. However, increasing management problems with honey bees and declines in native bee populations due to various environmental stressors have highlighted the importance ...

Emergence Patterns of the Seedcorn Maggot, Delia platura (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Time of emergence of seedcorn maggot (SCM), Delia platura (Meigen), adults that developed from eggs laid in field plots from May through October 1981, was determined during 1981, 1982, and 1983. Some SCM that developed from eggs laid as early as May 1981,

Founding and maintaining a seedcorn maggot (Delia platura) colony

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 918-922, August 2025.
Delia platura (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) is a generalist dipteran pest that can cause economically important damage to several crops. Maintaining D. platura colonies allows for year‐round research of their biology and behavior, which is essential for developing potential management strategies.

The importance of oligosulfides in the attraction of fly pollinators to the brood-site deceptive species Jaborosa rotacea (Solanaceae). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Premise of research. Brood-site deceptive flowers use dishonest signals?especially floral odors that mimic oviposition substrates?to attract and deceive saprophilous insects to pollinate them.

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 329-338, August 2025.
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

Polybia (Myrapetra) scutellaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) foraging on flies at carcasses of Rattus norvegicus (Rodentia: Muridae)

open access: yesSociobiology, 2016
Social wasps stand out due to their role in the trophic balance of the ecosystems. These insects can get nutrients by preying on other insects, such as Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and the decomposing remains of vertebrates.

Identifying conservation hotspots and assessing species commonness and rarity: Baseline arthropod diversity in German nature reserves via national Malaise trap monitoring

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 510-525, July 2025.
Conducted a year‐long Malaise trap monitoring study across Germany, revealing 14,445 OTUs, including 8,589 assigned species, highlighting extensive small‐scale and largely undescribed diversity. Identified 17 invasive species, five of which are new records for Germany, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring to manage invasive species ...
