Two new records of the genus Exoprosopa (Diptera: Bombyliidae: Anthracinae) from Iran

Journal of Crop Protection, 2014
The genus Exoprosopa Macqurt, 1840 (Diptera: Bombyliidae: Anthracinae) was studied in the north central Iran. Four species of the genus Exoprosopa were identified of which E. minos (Meigen,1804) and E. grandis (Pallas, 1818) were previously recorded from

Comparative assessment of automated and manual monitoring in comprehensive plant–pollinator communities

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 2960-2978, December 2025.
Abstract Pollinator declines pose a significant threat to ecosystem services, making effective monitoring methods critical for conservation efforts. Current research on pollination interactions remains constrained by traditional methods such as direct observations, which have limited spatial and temporal coverage and are inherently biased toward ...

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Using total abundance as a proxy for wild bee species richness: A practical tool for non‐experts

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 3065-3077, November 2025.
The use of a simple but effective proxy could be an important starting point for the expansion of wild bee monitoring initiatives at the regional scale, particularly given the growing involvement of non‐specialists. We provided here a simple implementation framework to use this proxy in rapid biodiversity assessments, such as the evaluation of payment ...

Isolating the effects of floral temperature on visitation and behaviour of wild bee and fly pollinators

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2496-2508, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flower temperature impacts pollinator choice in laboratory settings and the foraging behaviour of bees in natural populations. However, the direct effects of floral temperature on animal pollination in field conditions are difficult to isolate from other pollinator ...

Redescription of two neotropical species of Toxophora Meigen (Diptera, Bombyliidae, Toxophorinae) Redescrição de duas espécies neotropicais de Toxophora Meigen (Diptera, Bombyliidae, Toxophorinae)

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2009
Two neotropical species of Toxophora Meigen, 1848 are redescribed (T. aurea Macquart, 1848 and T. leucon Séguy, 1930) and the male terminalia, female spermathecae, and the eggs are described and illustrated. Both species can be easily segregated from the
