Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

Artificial Light at Night Alters Both of Nocturnal and Diurnal Pollination Networks in Alpine Meadows

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects plant–pollinator interactions through taxon‐specific changes in pollinator visitation. Reduced Lepidoptera visitation restructures nocturnal pollination networks by decreasing nestedness and increasing modularity, whereas shifts in daytime pollinator assemblages increase connectance in diurnal pollination ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga angarosinica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) angarosinica (Rohdendorf, 1937) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) is a species of both medical and ecological significance. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. angarosinica was sequenced and characterized.

Diplochorous Seed Dispersal of Rafflesiaceae by Fruit‐Consuming Squirrels, Rats and Treeshrews, Then Seed‐Burying Dung Beetles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Evidence supporting diplochorous seed dispersal of Rafflesiaceae species is presented. Rodents and treeshrews ingest fruit and act as primary dispersers. Dung beetles subsequently burry and disassemble seed‐laden faecal pellets, potentially placing seeds in close proximity to the roots of host Tetrastigma lianas.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga tuberosa (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Sarcophaga tuberosa has certain sanitary and epidemiological significance and takes proteins from decaying matter. In this study, we first sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. tuberosa.

Large‐flowered stapeliad Edithcolea grandis (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) is pollinated by dung‐ and blood‐feeding African face flies (Muscidae: Musca xanthomelas)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The more than 360 species of stem‐succulent stapeliads in the tribe Ceropegieae represent a perfect example for species radiation and diversification in response to pollination by flies. In the majority of species, the myiophilous flowers have visual and olfactory characteristics that suggest carrion or dung mimicry.
