Present knowledge of the Entomofauna of the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2000
The Maltese Islands' strategic position in the centre of the Mediterranean basin and in between the Siculo Tunisian sill, always encouraged a number of foreign naturalists to visit and study their local entomofauna.

Conservation of hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) requires complementary resources at the landscape and local scales

Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2017
Accumulating evidence shows that landscape fragmentation drives the observed worldwide decline in populations of pollinators, particularly in species of Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. However, Little is known about the effects of landscape fragmentation on

Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...

Plant‐Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We compared plant‐pollinator networks in newly established and old, permanent grasslands in a Central European agricultural landscape. Newly established grasslands showed higher pollinator visitation frequency and diversity per plant species, especially for solitary bees and syrphids, with a comparable network structure to old grasslands.

Dominated Spider Species and the Predation Assessment on Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae) in a Tea Plantation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer‐Dür) is a major pest affecting tea. Identifying the dominant predatory spiders of the mirid bug can provide a scientific basis for developing biological control technologies. Xysticus ephippiatus demonstrates the greatest potential as a biological control agent against A. lucorum.

Threatened or thriving? – The status of Serbian hoverflies on the IUCN European Red List of Hoverflies

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Spatial distribution of Critically Endangered (CR) (a), Endangered (EN) (b), and Vulnerable (VU) (c) species in Serbia, showing overlap with Prime Hoverfly Areas (PHAs) and Protected Areas (PAs). Abstract Given the widespread decline of pollinators worldwide, assessing them using the IUCN criteria is crucial to understand their conservation status ...
