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.

Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...
