First report of mitogenome of Lispe assimilis (Diptera, Muscidae) yielded by next-generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The nearly complete mitogenome of aquatic predator species, Lispe assimilis Wiedemann, 1824, was obtained using a next-generation sequencing approach, which is the first report in Coenosiinae (Calyptratae, Muscidae).

New findings of Muscomorphan flies (Diptera, Brachycera) in Hungary [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
Six species of Muscomorphan flies are reported from Hungary for the first time, each representing a different family: Cheilosia (Neocheilosia) luteicornis (Zetterstedt, 1838) (Syrphidae), Lonchaea lateralis MacGowan, 2016 (Lonchaeidae), Ochthera ...

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

Muscidae and Ulidiidae (Diptera: Insecta) in burned areas during the first year after fire (abundance and dynamics) [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The biodiversity and abundance of two families of Diptera were studied at 11 plots located in burned forest areas and unburned forest ecosystems. The research was conducted in the Mordovia State Nature Reserve (Republic of Mordovia, European Russia ...

Anthropogenic nitrogen addition interrupts seasonal connectivity and structures of plant–pollinator networks

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1878-1891, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

The Phylogeny and Evolutionary Timescale of Muscoidea (Diptera: Brachycera: Calyptratae) Inferred from Mitochondrial Genomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Muscoidea is a significant dipteran clade that includes house flies (Family Muscidae), latrine flies (F. Fannidae), dung flies (F. Scathophagidae) and root maggot flies (F. Anthomyiidae). It is comprised of approximately 7000 described species.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3613-3630, June 2026.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

COCOON FORMATION BY MUSCIDAE (DIPTERA) [PDF]

Australian Journal of Entomology, 1980
ABSTRACTCocoon formation by muscid larvae before pupation is commoner than is usually thought. Notes are given on 29 species known to make cocoons. Cocoon construction by Gymnodia ruficornis (Malloch) is described, and cocoons of three species in different media are illustrated.
