Review of the Iranian species of the genus Pipizella Rondani, 1856 (Diptera, Syrphidae), with description of a new species from Iran and Azerbaijan [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and SystematicsThe species of the genus Pipizella Rondani, 1856, from Iran are reviewed. In this review, new records of three species are presented: Pipizella baybaurtica Claussen & Hayat, 1997, P. ochreobasalis van Steenis & Lucas 2011, and P. orientalis van Steenis &

Hoverflies of Serbia: What suits them better – Protected Areas or Prime Hoverfly Areas?
, 2019 Biodiversity is declining on a global level, which raises the question of efficiency of Protected Areas (PAs). Furthermore, PAs are often established for political or economic reasons, rather than based on ecological principles, or scientific criteria.

General-purpose and special-purpose visual systems [PDF]
, 2006 The information that eyes supply supports a wide variety of functions, from the guidance systems that enable an animal to navigate successfully around the environment, to the detection and identification of predators, prey, and conspecifics.

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012 Hoverflies and blowflies have distinctly different flight styles. Yet, both species have been shown to structure their flight behaviour in a way that facilitates extraction of 3D information from the image flow on the retina (optic flow).

THE OCCURRENCE FREQUENCY OF Syrphidae (Diptera) SPECIES IN APPLE ORCHARDS AND ON THEIR EDGES
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2013 The study was aimed at determining the attractiveness of neighbouring habitats for Syrphidae (Diptera). The frequency of Syrphidae occurrence in apple orchards and on their edges was studied in 2008–2010.

The evolution of imperfect mimicry in hoverflies [PDF]
, 2004 Ideas about the evolution of imperfect mimicry are reviewed. Their relevance to the colours patterns of hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) are discussed in detail. Most if not all of the hoverflies labelled as mimetic actually are mimics.
