New fossil bee flies (Diptera: Bombylioidea) in the Lowermost Eocene amber of the Paris Basin
Geologica Acta, 2004 A new genus and two new species of bee flies are described from the Lowermost Eocene amber of the Paris basin: Paradolichomyia eocenica n. gen, n. sp. (Bombyliidae: Toxophorinae) and Proplatypygus matilei n. sp. (Mythicomyiidae). Paradolichomyia eocenica

Overabundant populations of large wild herbivores disrupt plant-pollinator networks in a Mediterranean ecosystem. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples? [PDF]
Ecol EvolMalaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.
