Abundance of Pollinator Insect (Forcipomyia Spp .) of Cocoa Under Some Shade Trees [PDF]
Cocoa production is affected by cocoa flowering and fruiting. The factor affects fruit seeting is pollinator agent such as Forcipomyia spp. Until now, information concerning population dynamics of Forcipomyia in some models of cocoa shading trees remains

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are an abundant, yet declining, taxonomically heterogeneous group with special importance in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimations of insect biomass during their aquatic life stages are essential to advance our fundamental knowledge about insects, their roles in ecosystems, and their vulnerability to ...

The immatures of Culicoides lacustris Ronderos (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)
Larva and pupa of the Patagonian species Culicoides lacustris Ronderos are described in detail with phase-contrast microscope at oil immersion and scanning electron microscope. Studied specimens were collected in a wetland, alongside to the Provincial Route 12, between the cities of Esquel and Gualjaina in the Chubut Province.

Finite-size scaling as a way to probe near-criticality in natural swarms [PDF]
Collective behaviour in biological systems is often accompanied by strong correlations. The question has therefore arisen of whether correlation is amplified by the vicinity to some critical point in the parameters space.

Tree hollow parameters and their effects on saproxylic arthropod diversity: A multi‐taxon approach
Tree hollows are keystone structures for biodiversity in forests and support saproxylic arthropods but are declining in central Europe due to intensive forest management, threatening these invertebrate communities. Research using DNA metabarcoding examined non‐beetle arthropods in 40 beech tree hollows, exploring their habitat requirements in southern ...

ABSTRACT Short‐tongued saprophilous flies are a diverse but under‐appreciated group of pollinators, which are particularly important for flowers in the subtribe Stapeliinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae‐Ceropegieae). This clade of plants is characterised by repeated shifts between tubular kettle‐trap and open non‐trap flowers and chemical mimicry (of ...
