Effects of chronic exposure to thiamethoxam on larvae of the hoverfly Eristalis tenax (Diptera, Syrphidae)
There is widespread concern over the use of neonicotinoid pesticides in the agro-ecosystem, due in part to their high water solubility which can lead to widespread contamination of non-target areas including standing surface water. Most studies investigating the negative fitness consequences of neonicotinoids have focused on bees, with little research on the impact on other non-target insects. ...
متن کاملThe behaviour of hoverfly larvae (Diptera, Syrphidae) lessens the effects of floral subsidy in agricultural landscapes
20 Modern agricultural landscapes favour crop pests: herbivores benefit from resource 21 concentration and/or the absence of natural enemies in large areas of intensively farmed fields 22 interspersed by small fragments of natural or non-crop habitats. 23 Conservation biological control (CBC) aims at increasing the functional diversity of 24 agricultural landscapes to make them more hospitable ...
متن کاملRearing and observation of immature stages of the hoverfly Microdon katsurai (Diptera, Syrphidae)
BACKGROUND The hoverfly Microdon (Chymophila) katsurai Maruyama et Hironaga 2004 was speculated to be a myrmecophilous species associated with the ant Polyrhachis lamellidens based on observations of adults near the ant nest. However, there have been no reports regarding the observation of immature stages of this species in association with P. lamellidens. NEW INFORMATION For the first time, ...
متن کاملGrowth, development, and life-history strategies in an unpredictable environment: case study of a rare hoverfly Blera fallax (Diptera, Syrphidae)
1. Development in organisms can vary in response to fluctuating environments. In holometabolous insects, variation in adult phenotypic traits is strongly influenced by growth conditions experienced by larvae. The main aim of this study was to assess how much environmental insight can be gained from analysis of the phenotypic changes in an insect’s life history parameters in response to realisti...
متن کاملFunctional richness, functional evenness, and use of niche space in parasite communities.
Most efforts aimed at elucidating the factors responsible for the variation in species richness among different parasite communities have focused on host characteristics such as body mass or diet. Independently of host features, however, the way in which parasites use resources within the host may also affect the species richness of the community. The distribution of parasite individuals or bio...
