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 ...

The influence of floral character on the foraging behaviour of the hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1999 AbstractA bioassay to examine the foraging behaviour of the aphidophagous hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus was used in which various stimuli purported to influence flower choice were tested using model flowers. In choice experiments, E. balteatus exhibited enhanced behavioural responses to the colour yellow, as previously seen in Eristalis by several ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.Abstract Roads are vital for human societies, yet they can also have negative impacts on the ecological communities that live in close proximity to them. Insect pollinators, which nest and forage in road verges running alongside roads, are a group of particular importance.

Behavioural evidence for a visual and proprioceptive control of head roll in hoverflies (Episyrphus balteatus, Dipteran) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015 Hoverflies' ability to control their head orientation with respect to their body contributes importantly to their agility and their autonomous navigation abilities. Many tasks performed by this insect during flight, especially while hovering, involve a head stabilization reflex.

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.

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.

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 ...
