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.

The FloRes Database: A floral resources trait database for pollinator habitat-assessment generated by a multistep workflow [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 The decline of pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes proceeds due to intensive land use and the associated loss of habitat and food sources. The feeding of those insects depends on the spatial and temporal distribution of nectar and pollen as ...

Quantification of migrant hoverfly movements (Diptera: Syrphidae) on the West Coast of North America [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The seasonal migration of huge numbers of hoverflies is frequently reported in Europe from mountain passes or spurs of land. The movement of such large numbers of beneficial insects is thought to provide significant ecosystem services in terms of ...

Syrphine hoverflies are effective pollinators of commercial strawberry
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2018 Recent declines in wild pollinators represent a significant threat to the sustained provision of pollination services. Insect pollinators are responsible for an estimated 45% of strawberry crop yields, which equates to a market value of approximately £99
