ABSTRACT With around 6000 species and 200 genera worldwide, hoverflies (Syrphidae, Diptera) are important and a diverse group of pollinators, second to wild bees (Hymenoptera). Here, we studied the diversity of Syrphidae visiting flowers in low shrubland maquis environments of three compensation areas in the Ajaccio region (Corsica, France). A total of

Progress and problems in the assessment of flower morphology in higher-level systematics [PDF]
Floral features used for characterization of higher-level angiosperm taxa (families, orders, and above) are assessed following a comparison of earlier (precladistic/premolecular) and current classifications.

Off‐target drift of the herbicide dicamba disrupts plant–pollinator interactions via novel pathways
Summary While herbicide use in agriculture is expected to have many effects on surrounding weed communities, it is largely unknown how plant exposure to sublethal doses of herbicide may subsequently impact plant–pollinator interactions. We tested the hypothesis that sublethal herbicide exposure indirectly alters plant–pollinator interactions through ...

Phylogeny of the butterfly tribe Luciini showing Bayesian chronogram of evolution inferred with BEAST 1.10.4 and new monotypic genus Paradipsas Braby, gen. nov. Luciini are obligatorily associated with ants. Ant associations (subfamily and genus) with larvae of each butterfly species are indicated by tip circle colours. Ant attendance appears to be the

Synorganisation without organ fusion in the flowers of Geranium robertianum (Geraniaceae) and its not so trivial obdiplostemony [PDF]
Background and Aims Synorganisation of floral organs, an important means in angiosperm flower evolution, is mostly realized by congenital or post-genital organ fusion.

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

According to the disturbance gradient, the species richness of herbaceous vegetation increased from fenced (less disturbed) to fallow (most disturbed). The pastoral value and biomass production of grazing land were higher in protected areas (fenced land) than in unprotected areas (community forests and fallow land), suggesting that conservation ...
