Small object detection neurons in female hoverflies [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 While predators such as dragonflies are dependent on visual detection of moving prey, social interactions make conspecific detection equally important for many non-predatory insects. Specialized ‘acute zones’ associated with target detection have evolved in several insect groups and are a prominent male-specific feature in many dipteran flies.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.A two‐year study reveals shared fungal communities between cranberry flowers and insect visitors, including Apis mellifera, Bombus species, solitary bees and hover flies. Greater fungal richness was present in pollinator‐accessible flowers compared to those that were tented.

Sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima L.) enhances aphidophagous insects and increases yield in field broad bean – agronomic aspects [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection ResearchSweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima L.) is known as an insectary plant with great potential in enhancing the occurrence and diversity of beneficial insects in different crops. However, agronomic aspects of the introduction of this plant are still not fully

Teleosemantics and Productivity [PDF]
, 2011 There has been much discussion of so-called teleosemantic approaches to the naturalisation of content. Such discussion, though, has been largely confined to simple, innate mental states with contents such as There is a fly here.

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]
, 2008 1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 321-332, April 2026.ABSTRACT Ant‐flower interactions are prevalent in many ecosystems, yet their ecological significance remains poorly understood, particularly in isolated systems like the Galapagos Islands, where unique biotic assemblages create distinct interaction networks.

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 654-668, March 2026.Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to
