Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 693-705, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

L'impact du miellat de puceron au niveau des relations tritrophiques entre les plantes-hôtes, les insectes ravageurs et leurs ennemis naturels [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2009
Aphid honeydew impact on the tritrophic relationships between host-plants, phytophagous insects and their natural enemies. Tritrophic relations between plants, phytophagous insects and beneficials are based on the presence of chemical cues in the ...

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Афидофаги от семейство Syrphidae (Diptera) атакуващи Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera; Aphididae) в тютюнева ценоза

Растениевъдни науки, 2022
Сирфидните мухи са важни за биологичния контрол в агроекосистемите. Целта на проучването е запознаване с видовете афидофаги от семейство Syrphidae (Diptera) при ориенталски тютюн, плътността им и динамиката на развитие в зависимост от плътността на ...

Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.
Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Episyrphus balteatus symbiont variation across developmental stages, living states, two sexes, and potential horizontal transmission from prey or environment

Frontiers in Microbiology
Introduction Episyrphus balteatus is one representative Syrphidae insect which can provide extensive pollination and pest control services. To date, the symbiont composition and potential acquisition approaches in Syrphidae remain unclear. Methods Herein,

The effectiveness of biodiversity offsetting for wild pollinator conservation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
We show that even small differences in the composition of floral resources can result in significantly higher wild pollinator abundances and species richness in offset grasslands. Since our reference grasslands represent the target habitat, our findings suggest that biodiversity offsetting of semi‐natural grassland shows promise for achieving No Net ...

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

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.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1109-1122, June 2026.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Cultivating biophilia: Domestic gardens foster positive emotions towards wildlife, with gardening influence shaped by species' ecological functions

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1218-1232, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding how different types of nature interactions influence emotional responses to animal species is especially important in the context of the biodiversity crisis, as these emotions can shape conservation‐related attitudes and behaviours. Gardening is recognised as one such interaction, although its influence likely depends on the type
