Hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) in a rural garden and their potential for citizen science [PDF]
Contributions to EntomologyIn a rural garden in the southwest of the Netherlands, 48 species of hoverfly were observed, belonging to 28 genera. All but one species are common in the Netherlands. Gardens are a natural habitat for many hoverflies.

Pollination by hoverflies in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 Pollinator declines, changes in land use and climate-induced shifts in phenology have the potential to seriously affect ecosystem function and food security by disrupting pollination services provided by insects. Much of the current research focuses on bees, or groups other insects together as ‘non-bee pollinators’, obscuring the relative contribution ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 Urbanisation has become one of the major anthropogenic drivers behind insect decline in abundance, biomass and species richness over the past decades. As a result, bees and other pollinators' natural habitats are reduced and degraded.

Hoverflies provide pollination and biological pest control in greenhouse-grown horticultural crops
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Beneficial insects provide pollination and biological control in natural and man-made settings. Those ecosystem services (ES) are especially important for high-value fruits and vegetables, including those grown under greenhouse conditions.

CityScapeLab Berlin: A Research Platform for Untangling Urbanization Effects on Biodiversity [PDF]
, 2020 Urban biodiversity conservation requires an understanding of how urbanization modulates biodiversity patterns and the associated ecosystem services. While important advances have been made in the conceptual development of urban biodiversity research over

On the immature stages of some Merodontini hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) from Europe and Africa.
Arthropod structure & development, 2023 The genera Eumerus and Merodon (Syrphidae: Merodontini) form together the most speciose grouping of hoverflies in the Palaearctic Region. However, little is known about the morphology and biology of their larvae.

Contrasting effects of altitude on species groups with different traits in a non-fragmented montane temperate forest [PDF]
Nature Conservation, 2019 Temperature has strong effects on species composition and traits. These effects can differ within and between species groups. Thermoregulation and mobility are traits which can be strongly affected by altitudinal distribution.
