Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 702-715, May 2026.Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.

Contactless Acoustic Trapping of Hoverflies for Behavioral Studies
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1559, Issue 1, May 2026.We present a contactless tethering device based on acoustic levitation. Opposing ultrasonic transducers generate standing waves, creating stable pressure nodes that enable the sustained levitation of hoverflies (Episyrphus balteatus). We show that acoustic levitation does not appear to affect hoverfly behavior.

Scientific Reports, 2017 The hoverflies Episyrphus balteatus and Eupeodes corollae (Diptera: Muscomorpha: Syrphidae) are important natural aphid predators. We obtained mitochondrial genome sequences from these two species using methods of PCR amplification and sequencing.

Plant‐Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We compared plant‐pollinator networks in newly established and old, permanent grasslands in a Central European agricultural landscape. Newly established grasslands showed higher pollinator visitation frequency and diversity per plant species, especially for solitary bees and syrphids, with a comparable network structure to old grasslands.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer‐Dür) is a major pest affecting tea. Identifying the dominant predatory spiders of the mirid bug can provide a scientific basis for developing biological control technologies. Xysticus ephippiatus demonstrates the greatest potential as a biological control agent against A. lucorum.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Geranium sylvaticum*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.Geranium sylvaticum is a perennial forb of upland grasslands, woodlands and riverbanks in northern Britain, with scattered native occurrences also in Wales, central England and Northern Ireland. It has an extensive native range in Europe and Asia. The species is gynodioecious, with individual plants typically female or hermaphrodite.

Abundance of adult hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) on different flowering plants
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2008 Encouraging natural enemies by growing attractive plants is considered an effective method of pest control in organic farming. However, it is important to identify which flowers best attract beneficial insects.
