Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Resource Availability Modulates Gene Expression Across Life Stages in a Migratory Butterfly

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural populations are in constant need of balancing resource allocation to compensate for seasonal environmental variation. In many insects, a well‐established trade‐off between migration and reproduction exists. While this trade‐off has been characterised phenotypically for decades, the underlying regulatory pathways are poorly understood ...

Two new hoverfly species of the Merodon desuturinus lineage (Diptera: Syrphidae: Merodontini)

European Journal of Taxonomy
The hoverfly genus Merodon Meigen, 1803 (Diptera: Syrphidae) comprises five monophyletic lineages. Here, we describe two new species of the murorum species group and melanocerus species group from the desuturinus lineage. One species, Merodon spinolobus

Pollinator diversity (Hymenoptera and Diptera) in semi-natural habitats in Serbia during summer [PDF]

, 2012
The aim of this study was to assess species diversity and population abundance of the two main orders of pollinating insects, Hymenoptera and Diptera. The survey was conducted in 16 grassland fragments within agro-ecosystems in Vojvodina, as well as in ...

Flower visitation by hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) in a temperate plant-pollinator network

PeerJ, 2018
Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are among the most important pollinators, although they attract less attention than bees. They are usually thought to be rather opportunistic flower visitors, although previous studied demonstrated that they show colour ...
