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 ...

Effects of pollen, sugars and honeydew on lifespan and nutrient levels of Episyrphus balteatus [PDF]
BioControl, 2014 Hoverflies require pollen, nectar and honeydew during their adult stage, but little is known about the suitability and nutrient provision of each of those resources. Thus, in this study we assessed the effect of different types of food, such as carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, sucrose and honey), pollen, a mixture of honey and pollen, and honeydew on ...

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

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.

Influence of different densities and nymphal instars of Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on developmental time and feeding rate of larvae of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) under greenhouse conditions [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2017 Several aphidophagous insects such as predators and parasitoids are known to respond positively to aphid infested plants. This study was intended to evaluate the effect of different densities (40, 60, 80, 100) and nymphal instars (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) of

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.
