Chromosome-level genome assembly of marmalade hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) [PDF]
Scientific DataEpisyrphus balteatus can provide dual ecosystem services including pest control and pollination, which the larvae are excellent predators of aphid pest whereas adults are efficient pollinator.

Landscape parameters explain the distribution and abundance of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2005 We studied the importance of forest structure (shape, edge length and orientation) and the crop mosaic (percentage of crops in the total land cover, within 100 and 2000 m from the forests) to the dynamics of an aphidophagous hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus.

BMP signaling components in embryonic transcriptomes of the hover fly
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.

Aphid honeydew: An arrestant and a contact kairomone for Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) larvae and adults [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2014 Predator searching efficiency increases in response to a variety of environmental cues associated with its prey. The sugary excretion of aphids (honeydew) has been found to act as a prey-associated cue for many aphid natural enemies. In the present study,

Development of ovaries, allometry of reproductive traits and fecundity of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2000 Episyrphus balteatus only matures eggs after emergence. Ovaries develop in 4 stages. In the absence of oviposition sites, females refrain from ovipositing and their ovaries progressively fill the abdomen and then egg resorption occurs.

Evaluation on Biocontrol Efficacy of Episyrphus balteatus De Geer (Diptera: Syrphidae) Against Aphis craccivora, Myzus persicae, and Megoura crassicauda [PDF]
InsectsLarvae of Episyrphus balteatus De Geer (Diptera: Syrphidae) are important natural enemies of common agricultural pests such as aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae). This well-known aphidophagous flower fly is used as a biological control agent.

Expanding the fly eye gene regulatory network: From Drosophila to the hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsComparing organ-specific gene regulatory networks (GRNs) across large evolutionary distances remains a major challenge, particularly when the species under study differ in data resolution.

Feeding History Affects Intraguild Interactions between Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 While the effect of several factors such as predator and prey size, morphology and developmental stage on intraguild predation (IGP) is widely investigated, little is known about the influence of diet on the occurrence and outcome of IGP.

Lack of genetic differentiation between contrasted overwintering strategies of a major pest predator Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae): implications for biocontrol. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Winter ecology of natural enemies has a great influence on the level and efficiency of biological control at spring. The hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus (DeGeer) (Diptera: Syrphidae) is one of the most important natural predators of crop aphids in Europe ...
