Horse flies, family Tabanidae, are the most diverse family-level clade of bloodsucking insects, but their phylogeny has never been thoroughly explored using molecular data. Most adult female Tabanidae feed on nectar and on the blood of various mammal

The lepidopteran fauna of Massachusetts' offshore islands (USA), particularly Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, has been well characterized, and comprises intact assemblages of disjunct, regionally rare, habitat-specialized, and otherwise threatened

We examine the phylogenetic relationships of Figitidae and discuss host use within this group in light of our own and previously published divergence time data. Our results suggest Figitidae, as currently defined, is not monophyletic. Furthermore, Mi

Cynipini gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) are commonly known as oak gall wasps for their almost exclusive use of oak (Quercus spp.; Fagaceae) as their host plant. Previously, only three of the nearly 1,000 species of Cynipini have been recorded fr

Plants that lack floral rewards may nevertheless attract pollinators if their flowers sufficiently resemble those of rewarding plants. Flowers of the South African terrestrial orchid Disa nervosa are similar in floral dimensions and spectral reflecta

The relationship between where a female chooses to oviposit and her larvae's performance at those sites is critical to both the ecology and evolution of plant-insect interactions. For predispersal seed predators that do not themselves pollinate their

Methods for measuring proboscides in long-tongued fly pollinators are examined with respect to fly morphology and behavior. Most ecological studies aim to measure the functional proboscis length as a response or predictor variable. Here I suggest a p

Long-tongued horse flies (Diptera : Tabanidae : Pangoniinae) have proboscis lengths at least as long as their heads, the longest belonging to the Old World genus Philoliche (Wiedemann, 1820). These long proboscides are used to probe for nectar in dee
