Plant-Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land. [PDF]
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.

Windborne migration amplifies insect-mediated pollination services
Worldwide, hoverflies (Syrphidae: Diptera) provide crucial ecosystem services such as pollination and biological pest control. Although many hoverfly species exhibit migratory behavior, the spatiotemporal facets of these movement dynamics, and their ...

Effect of temperature on biological characteristics and feeding capacity of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) as important predator of the currant lettuce aphid, Nasonovia ribisnigri (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
Biological characteristics and feeding rate of Episyrphus balteatus on Nasonovia ribisnigri as an economically important pest of lettuce were evaluated at four constant temperatures (15, 20, 25 and 30 ± 1°C), 65 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 16L: 8D h ...

Dominated Spider Species and the Predation Assessment on <i>Apolygus lucorum</i> (Hemiptera: Miridae) in a Tea Plantation. [PDF]
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.
