Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae). [PDF]
Insect SciAs important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Electric field detection as floral cue in hoverfly pollination
Scientific Reports, 2021 Pollinators can detect the color, shape, scent, and even temperature of the flowers they want to visit. Here, we present the previously unappreciated capacity of hoverflies (Eristalis tenax and Cheilosia albipila) to detect the electric field surrounding

A syntax of hoverfly flight prototypes [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010 SUMMARYHoverflies such as Eristalis tenax Linnaeus are known for their distinctive flight style. They can hover on the same spot for several seconds and then burst into movement in apparently any possible direction. In order to determine a quantitative and structured description of complex flight manoeuvres, we searched for a set of repeatedly ...

A pheromone from cuticular hydrocarbons regulates mating behavior in the hoverfly Eupeodes corollae
Journal of Integrative AgricultureMating behavior is crucial for most insects, as it is closely tied to reproduction and population growth and relies heavily on chemical communication via cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) between individuals.

Environmental analysis of conservationally significant Eumerus and Platycheirus species (Diptera: Syrphidae) in Serbia [PDF]
Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2018 Due to raising environmental pressures, the number of species exposed to risk of extinction is also increasing. One of the first steps in species preservation is their legal protection. However, it is impossible to protect all species, therefore,

New records and distribution of species from genus Arctophila schiner, 1860 (Diptera: Syrphidae: Eristalinae) in Serbia [PDF]
Kragujevac Journal of Science, 2020 The genus Arctophila comprises large, bumblebee-like species of hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae). In Europe occur three species from this genus: A. bequaerti, A. bombiforme and A. superbiens and all of them were recorded in Serbia. Species from this genus
