Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 214-225, June 2026.The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Consumer–resource interactions can shift from exploitative to mutualistic when reciprocal benefits such as nutrient exchange offset the costs of damage or mortality, though these benefits are often difficult to detect. Carnivorous pitcher plants are typically viewed as exploiters of arthropod prey, yet most visitors escape capture and may gain
