Besides a sharp decrease in the total biomass of flying insects in German nature reserves, the diversity of species has also declined. Researchers from Radboud University have shown that this applies ...

An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough lift to fly. The physics of flight becomes more difficult the smaller ...

Integrative taxonomy has transformed the classification of hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) by combining traditional morphological study with molecular genetics and ecological or biogeographical data.

New Official Statistics on insect pollinators have been published from the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS) during Insect Week 2026. The data collected every year across Great Britain (GB) ...

The newly discovered species belongs to the family of hoverflies, many of which mimic wasps with their yellow-orange coloration, as the Swiss Systematics Society (SSS) announced on Tuesday. The ...

Scientists of the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) have discovered two new species of hoverflies, named Eristalinus sapphirinus and Eristalinus brunettii, from the Gangetic Plains of Bengal, marking ...

Kolkata: In a significant breakthrough for Indian entomology, researchers at the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) have discovered two new species of hoverflies in the Gangetic Plains of West ...

Last summer, I watched bee-looking creatures flying in zigzag formation, each with a separate flight plan. Are those bumblebees? Wasps? Nope, they were hoverflies, also called syrphid flies, drone ...

An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough lift to fly. The study, published today in eLife as the final Version of ...
