Relationships between wild bees, hoverflies and pollination success in apple orchards with different landscape contexts (2016, background): “Different land-use types such as grasslands and orchards, as well as arable fields, provide sufficient habitat for feeding, laying eggs and larval development (Röder, 1990; Schweiger et al., 2007; Rotheray & Gilbert, 2011).”
Flies and Flowers II: Floral Attractants and Rewards (2014, background): “…Culicidae (Nematocera); Syrphidae, Bombyliidae, Conopidae, Stratiomyidae, and Nemestrinidae (lower Brachycera); and among the higher Brachycera (Cyclorrhapha), the Muscidae, Anthomyiidae, Tachinidae, Calliphoridae, and others (Kastinger & Weber 2001; Larson et al. 2001; Rotheray & Gilbert 2011).”
Opportunities to enhance pollinator biodiversity in solar parks (2021, background): “and hence foraging resources here refers to flowering plants [43].”
FLIES AND FLOWERS III: ECOLOGY OF FORAGING AND POLLINATION (2015, background): “Many of the open anthropogenic grassland habitats have a diverse fauna of Syrphidae, including some species that have larvae that eat bulbs (genera Merodon, Eumerus) especially in dry mediterranean grasslands (Rotheray & Gilbert 2011).”
