“…Small arthropods are known to be important pollinators of a range of other plant species. These include the Dipteran families Cecidomyiidae (Yuan et al 2007), Ephydridae (Nagasaki 2007), Drosophilidae (Miyake & Yafuso 2005), Sciaridae and Mycetophilidae (Mesler et al 1980), Phoridae (Rulik et al 2008), Chironomidae (Murugan et al 2006), Psychodidae (Albre et al 2003), small Coleoptera (Krantz 2004;Blanche et al 2006), small Hymenoptera (Herre et al 2008) and Thysanoptera (Kirk 1997). Moreover, the propensity for small arthropods, which may carry pollen, to be carried in air currents over many kilometres suggests a possible route for inter-crop and crop-weed pollen movement and may elevate the importance of these arthropods in the contamination of seed crops.…”

“…Brood-site pollination by Drosophilidae was reported in Araceae (Miyake & Yafuso 2003;Takenaka et al 2006;Bröderbauer et al 2014). Flowers of a water lily, Nuphar subintegerrima (Nymphaeaceae), are visited by ephydrid flies that mate and oviposit in the flowers (Nagasaki 2007).…”

Plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia: a review

Pollination studies in East Asia have been developing rapidly in recent decades. East Asia may provide important information on many aspects of plant-pollinator interactions because of the rich fauna and flora and highly heterogeneous environments that occur there. In this review, plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia were summarized. Bumblebees are important pollinators of many plant species in East Asia, as well as in Europe and North America. Native honeybees may also have important roles in pollination in East Asia. Bird pollination and hawkmoth pollination may be less common in East Asia than in North America. Geographic variation in pollination interactions is expected because several types of pollinators are rare or absent in some habitats or geographic regions. For example, specialized nectar-feeding vertebrates like sunbirds and pteropodid bats are absent from most of East Asia except for some areas in its southern part. Opportunistic nectar-feeding vertebrates may have important roles in pollination where specialized nectar-feeding vertebrates are absent. Human impacts on plant pollinator interactions are understudied in this region. However, climate change, habitat degradation, and invasive species may have negative impacts on plant-pollinator interactions and thus plant reproductive success there. The information available on the plant-pollinator interactions in East Asia is still limited because many plant and pollinator taxa and many types of habitats are understudied.

“…Mistletoe (Phoradendron serotinum) might be an exception, as its small flowers are visited primarily by tiny flies such as ephydrids, chloropids, and milichiids. Elsewhere, ephydrids are known as major pollinators of aquatic plants such as Cabomba caroliniana Gray (Osborn et al 1991) and Nuphar species (Lippok & Renner 1997;Nagasaki 2007). Ephydrids occasionally appear in lists of flower visitors on particular plants, such as dwarf mistletoe (Gregor et al 1974).…”
