Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 851-862, August 2026.To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

Тhe species of superfamily Chalcidoidea–parasites of Aphidophagous Hoverflies [PDF]
, 2017 The species of the family Syrphidae are one of the most important predators of the peach leaf aphids on tobacco. In the complex food chain, aphidophagous hoverflies are attacked by a wide range of parasites.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We examined how light limitation and reduced pollinator access influence female fitness and phenotypic selection in Sagittaria trifolia across sequential inflorescences. Open‐grown plants produced the most inflorescences, flowers, and seeds, whereas mesh‐enclosed plants compensated for low early fruit set through later reproductive adjustment and ...

Wing motion measurement and aerodynamics of hovering true hoverflies [PDF]
, 2011 SUMMARYMost hovering insects flap their wings in a horizontal plane (body having a large angle from the horizontal), called `normal hovering'. But some of the best hoverers, e.g.

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2338-2352, July 2026.Abstract Urbanisation is reshaping how people experience wildlife, reducing our shared spaces with local biodiversity. Fewer opportunities for human–wildlife interactions weaken our emotional attachments to nature and precipitate a loss of species knowledge and familiarity.

Effects of wing deformation on aerodynamic forces in hovering hoverflies [PDF]
, 2010 SUMMARY We studied the effects of wing deformation on the aerodynamic forces of wings of hovering hoverflies by solving the Navier–Stokes equations on a dynamically deforming grid, employing the recently measured wing deformation data of ...

How does viewing angle affect the perceived accuracy of Batesian mimicry in hoverflies? [PDF]
Behav EcolDespite Batesian mimicry often eliciting predator avoidance, many Batesian mimics, such as some species of hoverfly (Syrphidae), are considered to have an “imperfect” resemblance to their model.
