Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution and abundance of aphidophagous hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) in wildflower patches and field margin habitats.

TL;DR: The spatial and temporal variations in aphidophagous syrphid abundance were recorded over two seasons in wildflower resource patches sown in a winter barley crop and associated field margins.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of floral character on the foraging behaviour of the hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus

TL;DR: A bioassay to examine the foraging behaviour of the aphidophagous hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus was used in which various stimuli purported to influence flower choice were tested using model flowers, showing preference for the greatest nectar concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oviposition behaviour and host colony size discrimination in Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae).

TL;DR: Three bioassays were used to examine the oviposition behaviour of the hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus (Degeer) in which various stimuli purported to influence host assessment and choice were tested, suggesting that females are merely responding to the colour of the artificial leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visits to manipulated flowers by Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) : Partitioning the signals of petals and anthers

TL;DR: It is suggested that Syrphidae may not always attend to petals, and variation in preference of different pollinator taxa should be taken into account when discussing the evolution of floral characters.
