Ceropegia L. (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae) comprises more than 200 species, all characterized by complex pitfall flowers. The deceptive flowers are myiophilous and pollinated predominantly by small flies from different families. It has been suggested that floral scent cues, that mimic food sources or oviposition sites, play an important role for attraction of target fly pollinators, and, together with morphological flower traits, explain the high functional specialization in terms of pollination by specific taxa. However, apart from two Ceropegia species, the floral scent composition and the mimicry strategies in this genus are unexplored. We tested for associations between floral scent and insect visitor and pollinator assemblages of 14 Ceropegia species. We also used nrDNA and chloroplast DNA markers to calculate a Maximum Likelihood tree and test for phylogenetic signal in scent chemistry and flower visitors/pollinators. The observed pollinators belonged to eight fly families, at least 18 genera, and 33 morphospecies, but each Ceropegia species was typically associated with only one or two pollinating fly families or genera. We detected a total of 317 floral volatiles, including aliphatic and aromatic components, terpenes, and various unknowns. Both flower visitor and pollinator patterns did not show an overall association with floral
scent chemistry. There was phylogenetic signal in flower visiting fly families and fly pollinator assemblages, but not in flower visiting fly morphospecies and overall scent chemistry. We discuss that despite the not existing correlation between pollinator and scent patterns the highly specific pollination system in Ceropegia will be explained mainly by floral scent chemistry.

Four to six percent of plants, distributed over different angiosperm families, entice pollinators by deception [1]. In these systems, chemical mimicry is often used as an efficient way to exploit the olfactory preferences of animals for the purpose of attracting them as pollinators [2,3]. Here, we report a very specific type of chemical mimicry of a food source. Ceropegia sandersonii (Apocynaceae), a deceptive South African plant with pitfall flowers, mimics attacked honeybees. We identified kleptoparasitic Desmometopa flies (Milichiidae) as the main pollinators of C. sandersonii. These flies are well known to feed on honeybees that are eaten by spiders, which we thus predicted as the model chemically mimicked by the plant. Indeed, we found that the floral scent of C. sandersonii is comparable to volatiles released from honeybees when under simulated attack. Moreover, many of these shared compounds elicited physiological responses in antennae of pollinating Desmometopa flies. A mixture of four compounds\—geraniol, 2-heptanone, 2-nonanol, and (E)-2-octen-1-yl acetate\—was highly attractive to the flies. We conclude that C. sandersonii is specialized on kleptoparasitic fly pollinators by deploying volatiles linked to the flies\’ food source, i.e., attacked and/or freshly killed honeybees. The blend of compounds emitted by C. sandersonii is unusual among flowering plants and lures kleptoparasitic flies into the trap flowers. This study describes a new example of how a plant can achieve pollination through chemical mimicry of the food sources of adult carnivorous animals.

About two species of the genera Tetanops ed Herina (Diptera Acalyptera Ulididae Otitinae) - Diptera captured by means two Malaise traps from a little marsh, known as \“Paludetto\”, and from a sandy dune, in marine shore of Park-Uccellina, are examined. In \“Paludetto\” there is predominance of blood-sucking Diptera (Culicidae, Ceratopogonidae, Tabanidae, Muscidae, Stomoxydinae), Diptera parassitoid on Mollusca (Sciomyzidae) or phytophagous (Cloropidae and Tephritidae). In sandy-dune there are Diptera of arid environments (Asilidae, Bombilidae, Conopidae, Milichidae) and some species of subfamily Otitinae: Herina scutellaris, Herina oscillans and Tetanops contarinii. Of these three, the last only may be regarded as a thalassobiont. T. contarinii compared with three other species of the same genus, for its morphology (tube-shaped spermathecae) and ecology (thalassobiont-psammophilous) may be regarded as a southern vicariant of Tetanops myopina of marine shores of north-central Europe.LEpt

Ceropegia species (Apocynaceae) have deceptive pitfall flowers and exploit small flies as pollinators, supposedly by chemical mimicry. Only preliminary data on the composition of flower scents are available for a single species so far, and the mimicry system is not yet understood in any species. We collected data on basic pollination aspects of C. dolichophylla, analyzed floral scent by gas chromatography linked to mass spectrometry (GC/MS), identified electrophysiologically active scent components by gas chromatography coupled with electroantennographic detection (GC/EAD), and determined compounds responsible for pollinator attraction in bioassays. We found that flowers of C. dolichophylla are visited by small flies of several taxa. Only Milichiidae and Chloropidae carried pollinaria and are, thus, pollinators. The pollen transfer efficiency (PTE) at two different sites was 2\% and 4\%, respectively. The floral scent was dominated by spiroacetals, mainly (2S,6R,8S)-8-methyl-2-propyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, n-tridecane, and N-(3-methylbutyl)acetamide. This spiroacetal and the acetamide elicited the most intense electrophysiological responses in fly antennae, and bioassays confirmed the capability of the spiroacetal in eliciting behavioral responses in pollinators. Most flies, determined as pollinators of C. dolichophylla, are kleptoparasites. They exploit insect prey of predatory arthropods as food source to which they are attracted by volatiles. 8-Methyl-2-propyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane and N-(3-methylbutyl)acetamide have not been identified before as volatiles of other plants, however, they are known as insect volatiles. Both compounds occur in the venom glands of paper wasps, a potential food source for the pollinators of C. dolichophylla. We propose that C. dolichophylla shows a kleptomyiophilous pollination strategy. It mimics insect related odors to exploit the food-seeking behavior of its kleptoparasitic pollinators.

Investigations on the dipterous fly fauna of the so called Acalyptratae" had been carried out on two uninhabited and only some 140- years-old German dune islands in the North Sea. These nature protected islands of Memmert and Mellum are situated 90 km apart from each other. Since 1917 Memmert has been populated by domestic rabbits. Altogether, 37 families of acalyptrate Diptera out of 51 in Germany are recorded from ten out of eleven East Frisian Islands. From the two specifically studied young islands, 246,517 specimens have been identified to the family level. 3,408 Agromyzidae (leaf miner flies) belonged to 133 spp., and 47,833 Chloropidae (grass- or frit flies) to 69 spp. Selected species of 15 further families were also identified and discussed concerning their ecology; particularly regarded are salt marsh species, a cambium miner and the dispersal over sea. Tables present information on all agromyzids and chloropids from traps: diversity, flight activity, dominance, phenology, sexual index, and colour preference. It is demonstrated how many specimens must be collected weekly to find one more species. The study is mainly based on the catches of Moericke pan-traps placed on both islands during 1985 and 1994. The numbers of captured specimens of all families from both islands are compared. Included is a comparison of their different pan trap abundance with that of the mainland of western Germany. Sweep net samples enlarge the faunistic analysis. The different results of each sampling method are recorded. The fauna of the island grazed by rabbits differs from that of the island inhabited only by one different terrestrial mammal, the wood mouse. Agromyzidae, Camillidae, and (one species of) Sepsidae are the dipterous families peculiarly influenced by rabbits. A table places all potential host plant genera noted on both islands against all their specific recorded phytophagous leaf miner- and grass fly species.
