Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.
Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Biology of Rhembobius quadrispinus (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae): Pupal parasitoid of saprophagous species of syrphids (Diptera: Syrphidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Little is known about the life cycle of Rhembobius parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae). Known host records are mainly from saprophagous species of hoverflies of the tribe Eristalini (Diptera: Syrphidae), whose larvae develop in a wide range of ...

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Development of ovaries, allometry of reproductive traits and fecundity of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2000
Episyrphus balteatus only matures eggs after emergence. Ovaries develop in 4 stages. In the absence of oviposition sites, females refrain from ovipositing and their ovaries progressively fill the abdomen and then egg resorption occurs.

The first complete mitochondrial genome of the tribe Rhingiini (Diptera:Syrphidae) and phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete mitochondrial genome of Ferdinandea cuprea was assembled and annotated applying next generation sequencing, which is the first reported mitogenome reference of species from Rhingiini tribe of Syrphidae family. The mitogenome of F. cuprea has

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

open access: yesFunctional 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 ...

Management of dry calcareous grasslands drives pollinator communities through availability of key forage plants

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pollinator conservation in calcareous grasslands should prioritize enhancing local patch quality while promoting landscape heterogeneity, including woody SNH. To improve forage quality, our analytical approach supports targeted grassland management in selecting key forage plants, promoting complementary and diverse floral assemblages that support ...
