The hoverflies Episyrphus balteatus and Eupeodes corollae (Diptera: Muscomorpha: Syrphidae) are important natural aphid predators. We obtained mitochondrial genome sequences from these two species using methods of PCR amplification and sequencing. The complete Episyrphus mitochondrial genome is 16,175 bp long while the incomplete one of Eupeodes is 15,326 bp long. All 37 typical mitochondrial g...

Facility horticulture plays a crucial role in modern agriculture by utilizing the environment efficiently and ensuring food supply. The hoverfly Eupeodes corollae (Fabricius) (Diptera: Syrphidae) performs dual ecological function facility as larvae prey on aphids adults pollinate, but it is not widely applied due to lack of large-scale breeding technology. In this study, we investigated effects...

Improvement in physical and biochemical properties of fruits through cross-pollination is a highly variable phenomenon. It mainly depends on the species pollinator nature crop being pollinated. therefore imperative to quantify relative pollination effectiveness an insect for certain species. In present study, two native bees (i.e., Apis dorsata A. florea) syrphid flies Eristalinus aeneus Eupeod...

Encouraging natural enemies by growing attractive plants is considered an effective method of pest control in organic farming. However, it is important to identify which flowers best attract beneficial insects. In this study, relative attractiveness of 16 species of flowering plants to adult hoverflies was assessed by conducting timed observations of feeding-visit frequencies. The experiments w...

Bu çalışmanın amacı 2020-2021 yılları bahar ve yaz aylarında Çanakkale ili meyve bahçelerindeki yumuşak sert çekirdekli ağaçları yabancı otlarda beslenen yaprakbitleri (Hemiptera: Aphididae) üzerindeki predator syrphid türlerinin (Diptera: Syrphidae) belirlenmesidir. Toplamda 6 cinse bağlı türü 15 yaprakbiti tespit edilmiştir. En yaygın türleri 9 üzerinde belirlenen Episyrphus balteatus de Geer...
