Foraging ecology of hoverflies: morphology of the mouthparts in relation to feeding on nectar and pollen in some common urban species
Abstract
Abstract. 1. Previous accounts of the feeding behaviour of hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are contradictory and in many cases do not correspond with field observations. 2. Patterns of feeding on nectar and pollen differ between species: these patterns are correlated with morphological differences. 3. The data indicate that there are two correlates of increasing tongue length: first, the proportion of pollen in the diet decreases; and second, the flies concentrate on visiting flowers with longer corollae, which contain more nectar sugar. 4. Reasons for these effects are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
