ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Taxonomic study of the tribe Leucostomatini (Dip.: Tachinidae: Phasiinae) in Iran [PDF]
In the course of the study of the tribe Leucostomatini (Dip.: Tachinidae: Phasiinae) in Iran, 11 species were collected and identified. The four genera Dionaea Robineau-Desvoidy, Eulabidogaster Belanovsky, Labigastera Macquart and Weberia Robineau ...

Abstract The large genus Campylocheta Rondani, 1859, comprising 48 species, occurs in all major biogeographical regions of the world, except Antarctica. Homohypochaeta Townsend, 1927 and Hypochaetopsis Townsend, 1915 are two Neotropical genera similar to Campylocheta, with only two and one species respectively.

An update to the Tachinidae fauna of Croatia (Diptera)
This paper updates the Tachinidae fauna of Croatia. We report 50 species for the first time for Croatia and six of these are new records for the Balkan Peninsula: Chetogena micronychia, Istocheta subcinerea,Meigenia simplex, Leucostoma edentatum, Peribaea discicornisand P. longirostris.

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

The protogynous flowers of Isotrema manshuriense exhibit multimodal cues, resembling both generalized food sources and fly oviposition sites, with these cues varying across sexual phases. Abstract The genus Aristolochia is renowned for its kettle‐like trap flowers that temporarily retain visiting insects, primarily using trapping trichomes.

Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.

We investigated the pollination biology of eight native wildflower species in the southeastern U.S. to assess their dependence on insect pollinators and potential for self‐pollination. Most species showed significantly higher seed production and weight when open‐pollinated, indicating strong pollinator dependence, though some could reproduce without ...
