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.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

The genome sequence of the Marmalade Hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer, 1776)
Wellcome Open Research, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Episyrphus balteatus (the Marmalade Hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 535 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into five chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the assembled X sex chromosome.

Syrphine hoverflies are effective pollinators of commercial strawberry
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2018 Recent declines in wild pollinators represent a significant threat to the sustained provision of pollination services. Insect pollinators are responsible for an estimated 45% of strawberry crop yields, which equates to a market value of approximately £99

Sex Ratio of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera : Syrphidae) in the Field and Laboratory Population
International Journal of Zoological Investigations, 2022 Adult syrphids (hover flies) are nectar and pollen feeders and most important pollinators in agroecosystem while the larval stages are predators on the aphids and are used as bioagent in their biocontrol programme. Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer) is the most common and abundant species in northeast Bihar.
