Oviposition preferences of Episyrphus balteatus.
Mededelingen (Rijksuniversiteit te Gent. Fakulteit van de Landbouwkundige en Toegepaste Biologische Wetenschappen), 2001 A crucial aspect of predator oviposition behaviour is host plant choice, especially in hoverflies where the newly hatched offspring are unable to move a great distance to search for the appropriate prey. Such offspring must generally feed on the host plant aphids previously selected by the mother.

Ecosphere, 2014 Migration and population dynamics are important in organisms that provide ecosystem services as they determine the occurrence of individuals in a given place at a given time, which, in turn, determines the efficiency of the service provided. To design appropriate landscape management strategies to improve the efficiency of biological control, it is ...

Bio-diversity of Episyrphus balteaus De Geer in northern India
International Journal of Science and Research ArchiveAt large geographical scales, dense populations of various taxa are often associated with biodiverse regions. This trend has been observed in plants, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. However, it remains unclear whether aphids exhibit a similar pattern. Aphids are notably species-poor in tropical regions due to their evolutionary

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2017 The blooming wild plants in the vicinity of orchards may attract adult Syrphidae to these cultivations. Hence in 2008–2010 studies were conducted around Czempiń (western Wielkopolska) which covered the occurrence of the imagines of 5 dominant predatory ...

Estimating Predatory Efficiency of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) in Cereal Fields
Environmental Entomology, 1995 A model was developed to estimate the effect of predation by Episyrphus balteatus larvae on aphid populations in fields of winter wheat. Feeding rate of syrphid larvae was estimated from experiments in field cages using a Holling type-III function. During larval development, syrphids consumed a maximum of 396 aphids, which is only half the potential ...
