“…Identification. The species was identified following the taxonomic keys provided by Miranda et al (2013) and Smit et al (2017). Eristalinus Rondani, 1845 is a widespread genus, with generalist pollinators and imperfect mimics of bees with punctate (spotted) and/or fasciate (striped) eyes (Sonet et al 2019).…”

“…Eristalinus taeniops (Fig. 1) is easily distinguished from all other New World eristalines (wings characterized by a sinuate R 4+5 vein) because it presents a dull, yellowish-gray thorax, with four indistinct black stripes; abdominal segment with three predominantly bright yellow maculae (Miranda et al 2013;Smit et al 2017). Additionally, this species presents five or more vertical stripes on the eyes, as opposed to Eristalinus (Eristalodes) quinquelineatus (Fabricius, 1781) which has four vertical bands (Thompson 2003;Smit et al 2017).…”

Eristalinus (Eristalodes) taeniops (Wiedemann, 1818) is a pollinator hoverfly native to the Old World that has spread through several countries in America. We determine the current distribution of this species in Argentina by using records from scientific literature and citizen science websites. In addition, we report the first three specimens collected in Córdoba province. Eristalinus taeniops is present in 10 provinces in Argentina and seems to be more frequent in anthropized habitats. Likewise, the specimens we collected were exclusively captured within the city of Córdoba. Our results confirm the occurrence of E. taeniops in central Argentina and contribute to determining the actual geographic distribution of this species in the country. Our new data could help to evaluate the potential invasiveness of E. taeniops in ecosystems.

Community structure contributes to ecosystem persistence and stability. To understand the mechanisms underlying pollination and community stability of natural areas in a human influenced landscape, a better understanding of the interaction patterns between plants and pollinators in disturbed landscapes is needed. The Northern Great Plains still retain extensive tracts of remnant temperate grassland habitat within a matrix of varying land-uses. We used a network-based approach to quantify how temperate grassland attributes and landscape heterogeneity influence plant-pollinator community structure in natural habitats. We also quantified pollinator diversity and floral diversity to assess the functional role of temperate grassland attributes and the surrounding landscape on the composition of the plant-pollinator communities in natural habitats. We found that the amount of local nectar sugar and increased proportions of certain land-uses contribute to pollinator diversity that in turn influences the structure of interactions between plants and pollinators. Understanding the factors contributing to plant-pollinator network structure can guide management decisions to support resilient plant-pollinator communities and conserve the stability of pollination services.

“…Once all previously pinned individuals were excluded, all specimens were critically point dried using a Leica critical point dryer (Leica EM CPD300, Leica Microsystems Inc., Concord, Ontario, Canada) and then pointed onto pins. Identifications were conducted using Skevington et al (2019a), supplemented by keys from Vockeroth (1992), Miranda et al (2013), and Young et al (2016).…”

Distribution of Syrphidae (Diptera) across northern Ontario

et al. 2020

Syrphids (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a diverse and widespread family of pollinating flies. Their diverse life history traits not only allow them to thrive in a wide range of habitats but also make them potential bioindicators of environmental change. Here, we report on their distributions from a previously understudied and undeveloped part of northern Ontario that is a large part of the third-largest wetland in the world. Samples were collected from across the region between 2009 and 2016, using numerous sampling methods. Of the 122 species identified from 1514 specimens, six are new provincial records to Ontario. Five species were collected over 800 km from their previously known ranges, some of which were west of the Rocky Mountains. Of all the trapping methods employed in the study, Malaise traps were found to be the most effective at catching syrphid species. This work updates known range and provincial records for more than 100 species of syrphids, bringing into clearer focus their distribution throughout this region.
