The two most abundant species of hoverflies present in the New Zealand agricultural landscape are Melanostoma fasciatum (Macquart) and Melangyna nouaezelandiae (Macquart), both of which are aphidophagous and also prey on young lepidopteran larvae. Information regarding the phenology and ecology of these species is quite limited but is needed if the contribution of these predators to biocontrol is to be enhanced. The main work reported here concerns the trapping of large numbers of hoverflies to investigate their phenology; these flies were subsequently assessed for the pollen type taken and for wing wear. Foraging behavior, optimal trap color and ideal trap-emptying rate were also studied. There was good evidence of a second generation of hoverflies occurring in late summer and pollen preferences for both species of hoverfly ere exhibited. The foraging behavior of the two number of flights made and the overall distance traveled over fixed time intervals. Yellow was the most efficient color for trapping M. novaezelandiae but for M. fasciatum yellow, white, and blue did not differ and green was poor. The value of the work in providing background ecological information for possible enhancement programs for hoverfly populations on farmland is discussed.}, keywords = {Diptera, ecology, New Zealand, Phenology, Syrphidae}, author = {Wratten, S.D. and White, A.J. and Bowie, M.H. and Berry, N.A. and Weigmann, U.} } @article {198, title = {Rote Liste der Schwebfliegen (Diptera: Syrphidae) Baden-W{\"u}rttembergs [Red data book of the flower-flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) of Baden-W{\"u}rttemberg (South-West Germany)]}, journal = {Natur und Landschaft}, volume = {68}, number = {12}, year = {1995}, pages = {608-617}, author = {Doczkal, Dieter and Schmid, Ulrich and Ssymank, Axel and Stuke, Jens-Hermann and Treiber, Reinhold and Hauser, Martin} } @article {266, title = {Trophic links, nutrient fluxes, and natural history in the Allium ursinum food web, with particular reference to life history traits of two hoverfly herbivores (Diptera: Syrphidae)}, journal = {Oecologia}, volume = {102}, number = {1}, year = {1995}, pages = {86-94}, abstract = {The food web centering on Allium ursinum (Liliaceae) in a beech forest (Germany) is described, and temporal variation of active trophic links is related to species{\textquoteright} life cycles.

Energy, carbon and nitrogen flow in the food chain (Allium-Cheilosia-Phygadeuon ursini) are investigated and analysed with respect to differences in resource allocation by the leaf miner and its hymenoptereous parasitoid. In C. fasciata nitrogen is likely to be the limiting resource, while growth in Phygadeuon ursini appears energy-limited. Larval feeding habits of C. fasciata and Portevinia maculata determined the timing of the species{\textquoteright} life cycles and, as a consequence, appeared to preclude the existence of a pupal parasitoid in Portevinia maculata. Further details of life history traits are demonstrated and discussed.}, keywords = {Syrphidae}, author = {Hovemeyer, K.} }
