Enhanced flight performance in hoverfly migrants [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Many animals undergo seasonal migrations in which they travel long distances aided by variations in morphology, physiology, and behavior. Here, we compare the flight characteristics, measured in a tethered flight mill, of autumn migratory and ...

Evaluation on Biocontrol Efficacy of Episyrphus balteatus De Geer (Diptera: Syrphidae) Against Aphis craccivora, Myzus persicae, and Megoura crassicauda [PDF]

Insects
Larvae of Episyrphus balteatus De Geer (Diptera: Syrphidae) are important natural enemies of common agricultural pests such as aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae). This well-known aphidophagous flower fly is used as a biological control agent.

Larval feeding capacity and pollination efficiency of the aphidophagous syrphids, Eupeodes frequens (Matsmura) and Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer) (Diptera: Syrphidae) on the cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) (Homoptera: Aphididae) on mustard crop

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
The present investigation was carried out on in vitro mass multiplication, larval feeding capacity, and pollination efficiency of two aphidophagous syrphids viz., Eupeodes frequens (Matsmura) and Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer) (Diptera: Syrphidae) on ...

BMP signaling components in embryonic transcriptomes of the hover fly Episyrphus balteatus (Syrphidae) [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background In animals, signaling of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) is essential for dorsoventral (DV) patterning of the embryo, but how BMP signaling evolved with changes in embryonic DV differentiation is largely unclear.

Role of (E)-β-farnesene in systematic aphid prey location by Episyrphus balteatus larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
The foraging behaviour of beneficials such as aphidophagous predators depend largely on volatile compounds emitted by potential preys. Even if polyphagous predatory species are considered, all the potential preys are not systematically localised and ...

Influence of prey host plant on a generalist aphidophagous predator: Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
Secondary plant metabolites (allelochemicals) play a major role in plant-insect interactions. Glucosinolates (GLS) and their degradation products from Brassica species are attractants and feeding stimulants for Brassicaceae specialist insects but are ...

Effects of developmental stages, sex difference, and diet types of the host marmalade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) on symbiotic bacteria [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionSymbiotic bacteria play key roles in a variety of important life processes of insects such as development, reproduction and environmental adaptation, and the elucidation of symbiont population structure and dynamics is crucial for revealing ...

Effect of temperature on biological characteristics and feeding capacity of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) as important predator of the currant lettuce aphid, Nasonovia ribisnigri (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2020
Biological characteristics and feeding rate of Episyrphus balteatus on Nasonovia ribisnigri as an economically important pest of lettuce were evaluated at four constant temperatures (15, 20, 25 and 30 ± 1°C), 65 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 16L: 8D h ...
