The role of fetid olfactory signals in the shift to saprophilous fly pollination in Jaborosa (Solanaceae)
(Springer, 2019-06)
Floral scents can act as important contributing factors to plant reproductive isolation mediated by pollinators. Plants may utilize fetid floral odors that specifically lure saprophilous flies seeking high protein content ...
Native flower strips increase visitation by non-bee insects to avocado flowers and promote yield
(2021)
Pollination is an essential ecosystem service for pollinator-dependent crops and plant communities. Apis mellifera L. is by far the most commonly used species to obtain this service in agriculture. However, there is growing ...
Non-crop habitats modulate alpha and beta diversity of flower flies (Diptera, Syrphidae) in Brazilian agricultural landscapes
(2018-05-01)
Non-crop habitats play a key role in maintaining functional diversity and ecosystem services in farmland. However, the interplay between beneficial insects and landscape variables has rarely been investigated in Neotropical ...
Flower diversification across “pollinator climates”: Sensory aspects of corolla color evolution in the florally diverse south american genus Jaborosa (Solanaceae)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-12)
Flower phenotype may diverge within plant lineages when moving across “pollinator climates” (geographic differences in pollinator abundance or preference). Here we explored the potential importance of pollinators as drivers ...
A new flower fly species of Cepa Thompson & Vockeroth (Diptera: Syrphidae) from the Valdivian evergreen forest hotspot, Chile
(Magnolia Press, 2019)
Copyright © 2019 Magnolia Press.The Neotropical region has a high species richness of flower flies. However, there are many known species awaiting proper description. Cepa Thompson & Vockeroth is a Neotropical genus with ...
Breeding of Ornidia obesa (Diptera: Syrphidae: Eristalinae) on Pig Carcasses in Brazil
(ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2010)
On Mho obesa F. (Diptera: Syrphidae) is usually neglected in forensic entomology, although adults are rather frequent on vertebrate carrion. In this study, conducted in southeastern Brazil in 2008, we used two pig carcasses, ...

New records of the exotic Band-eyed Drone Fly, Eristalinus taeniops (Wiedemann, 1818) (Diptera, Syrphidae), in Argentina
(Pensoft, 2020-11)
Eristalinus (Eristalodes) taeniops (Wiedemann, 1818) is a pollinator hoverfly native to the Old World that has spread through several countries in America. We determine the current distribution of this species ...
