In research published on 28 February, 2018 in Biology Letters, scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, Oxford University and Cornell University have shown for the first time that viruses ...

An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough lift to fly. The physics of flight becomes more difficult the smaller ...

Name an animal that migrates. You might think of the long migrations of humpback whales crossing the Pacific Ocean or flocks of geese flying noisily overhead. But, did you know that huge numbers of ...

Hoverflies use a combination of the sun and their body clock to navigate when they fly south for the winter, new research shows. Hoverflies use a combination of the sun and their body clock to ...

Billions of hoverflies from Europe descend on southern Britain each spring. The black and yellow striped bugs are no more than half an inch in length but make the long trek to Britain for the summer.

Migratory hoverflies are 'key' to pollination and controlling crop pests amid the decline of many other insect species, new research shows. Migratory hoverflies are "key" to pollination and ...

A study into migratory hoverflies on a North Sea oil rig has revealed their role as long-distance pollenators. University of Exeter researchers studied 121 marmalade hoverflies that landed on the rig ...

The mystery disease colony collapse disorder has wiped out more than 10m beehives in the past six years. This destruction has brought new awareness to the plight of bees and the pollinators' ...
