Promoting diverse communities of wild bees and hoverflies requires a landscape approach to managing meadows [PDF]

, 2017
There is ongoing concern regarding the observed decline in pollinator populations. Managing agricultural landscapes through agri-environment schemes (AES) supports biodiversity and could counteract pollinator population declines.

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

Navigation and flight capabilities of migratory hoverflies [PDF]

, 2023
Many insects undergo spectacular long-distance migrations to profit from ephemeral resources and escape punishing winters. This project aims to elucidate the mechanisms and adaptations that permit long-distance migration and introduces hoverflies as ...

An assessment of new character in hoverfly species delimitation using linear and geometric morphometrics – genus Merodon Meigen, 1803 (Diptera: Syrphidae) as a case study

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
Detection of morphologically indistinguishable cryptic species implies using an integrative taxonomic approach with a combination of molecular, contemporary morphological, ecological and other relevant analyses.

Adaptive strategies of high-flying migratory hoverflies in response to wind currents [PDF]

, 2020
Large migrating insects, flying at high altitude, often exhibit complex behaviour. They frequently elect to fly on winds with directions quite different from the prevailing direction, and they show a degree of common orientation, both of which facilitate

A pheromone from cuticular hydrocarbons regulates mating behavior in the hoverfly Eupeodes corollae

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Mating 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.

The pistil as a traffic light: Yellow‐to‐red color change likely influences pollinator visitation patterns in Saxifraga fortunei (Saxifragaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

Vermiculiphily: Larvae Pollinating Orchids! [PDF]

, 2011
Orchids are truly extraordinary organisms exhibiting a wide range of pollination mechanism, many of which awaits discovery. Epipactis veratrifolia is a terrestrial orchid that has been reported to be pollinated by various species of hoverflies in Israel1,
