Identification of Diverse Bacteriophages Associated with Bees and Hoverflies [PDF]
VirusesBacteriophages are the most numerous, ubiquitous, and diverse biological entities on the planet. Prior studies have identified bacteriophages associated with pathogenic and commensal microbiota of honeybees. In this study we expand on what is known about

The hoverflies of the Dauzet collection at the Musée des Confluences in Lyon (Diptera, Syrphidae) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalMaurice Dauzet collected hoverflies mainly in Loire and Haute-Loire from 1980 to 2017. Here, we provide the data from his hoverfly collection and card records, in order to support efforts towards a better understanding of the changing distribution of ...

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 ...

Insects, 2022 Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) and bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are two key taxa for plant pollination. In the present research, the altitudinal distribution of these taxa was studied along two gradients (elevation range: 780–2130 m) in the Dolomiti ...

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.

Migrating hoverflies as potential food source for co-migrating insectivorous birds [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceMost migrating birds must replenish energy reserves during migration. Food availability significantly influences migratory routes and can even force migrants to detour, but still little is known about potential co-migration between insectivorous birds ...

Visual approach computation in feeding hoverflies [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 ABSTRACT On warm sunny days, female hoverflies are often observed feeding from a wide range of wild and cultivated flowers. In doing so, hoverflies serve a vital role as alternative pollinators, and are suggested to be the most important pollinators after bees and bumblebees.

Mimcry and the hoverflies [PDF]
, 2000 Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) vary widely in their mimetic associations, comprising wasp-mimetic, bee-mimetic and non-mimetic species. Social wasp mimics are dominated by 'imperfect mimics' which outnumber their supposed models (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by large factors.

Enhanced flight performance in hoverfly migrants. [PDF]
iScienceMany animals undergo seasonal migrations in which they travel long distances aided by variations in morphology, physiology, and behavior. Here, we compare the flight characteristics, measured in a tethered flight mill, of autumn migratory and summer non-migratory morphs of the marmalade hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae), an ...
