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

Distribution and abundance of aphidophagous hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) in wildflower patches and field margin habitats [PDF]
, 2001 1 The spatial and temporal variations in aphidophagous syrphid abundance were recorded over two seasons in wildflower resource patches sown in a winter barley crop and associated field margins.

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 ...
