Purification and characterization of glutathione S-transferases from two syrphid flies (Syrphus ribesii and Myathropa florea)
Glutathione S-transferases (GST) play an important role in the detoxification of many substances including organic pollutants and plant secondary metabolites. We compared the GST of two syrphid species, the aphidophagous Syrphus ribesii and the saprophagous Myathropa florea to assess the relation between feeding type and GST patterns. Differences between the GST of the hoverfly species were obs...
متن کاملMaintenance of temporal synchrony between syrphid flies and floral resources despite differential phenological responses to climate.
Variation in species' responses to abiotic phenological cues under climate change may cause changes in temporal overlap among interacting taxa, with potential demographic consequences. Here, we examine associations between the abiotic environment and plant-pollinator phenological synchrony using a long-term syrphid fly-flowering phenology dataset (1992-2011). Degree-days above freezing, precipi...
متن کاملThe forgotten flies: the importance of non-syrphid Diptera as pollinators
Bees, hoverflies and butterflies are taxa frequently studied as pollinators in agricultural and conservation contexts. Although there are many records of non-syrphid Diptera visiting flowers, they are generally not regarded as important pollinators. We use data from 30 pollen-transport networks and 71 pollinator-visitation networks to compare the importance of various flower-visiting taxa as po...
متن کاملRestoring Balance: Using Exotic Species to Control Invasive Exotic Species
Invasive species threaten natural habitats worldwide, and active human management is required to prevent invasion, contain spread, or remediate ecosystems following habitat degradation. One powerful technology for invasive species management in sensitive habitats is biological control, the use of carefully selected upper-trophic-level organisms that utilize the exotic pest as a resource, thereb...
متن کاملLearning from Exotic Species
Research of unique features in exotic animal species often reveals unexpected biology and may even shed light on disease treatment. A recent paper by Tian et al. studies a long-lived, cancer-free rodent named the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) to understand the mechanism of cancer resistance. Previous work by the same group has suggested early contact inhibition (ECI) in the naked mole ...
