This study examines how elevation and temperature affect the sensory and cardiac physiology of hoverflies in the Himalayas, finding elevation reduces antennal sensitivity while temperature increases heart rate.

This study shows that hoverflies can extinguish innate floral preferences through aversive conditioning and acquire new preferences through appetitive training, with aversive memories lasting longer.

The paper examines how elevation and warming affect floral scent composition and pollinator preferences in alpine meadows, finding that conspecific scents remain more similar across elevations than between species.
