There are some studies that specifically deal with the role of hover flies in pollination efficiency, but so far I haven't seen any papers studying the effects of neo-nicotinoids on syrphid diversity, abundance or pollination efficiency. A few papers indirectly related to this (decline or trends in pollinators including syrphids), Bates, A. J., J. P. Sadler, A. J. Fairbrass, S. J. Falk, J. D. Hale, and T. J. Matthews. 2011. Changing Bee and Hoverfly Pollinator Assemblages along an Urban-Rural Gradient. PLoS ONE 6:e23459. Jauker, F., B. Bondarenko, H. C. Becker, and I. Steffan-Dewenter. 2012. Pollination efficiency of wild bees and hoverflies provided to oilseed rape. Agricultural and Forest Entomology 14:81-87. Biesmeijer, J. C., S. P. M. Roberts, M. Reemer, R. Ohlem?ller, M. Edwards, T. Peeters, A. P. Schaffers, S. G. Potts, R. Kleukers, C. D. Thomas, J. Settele, and W. E. Kunin. 2006. Parallel declines in pollinators and insect-pollinated plants in Britain and the Netherlands. Science 313:351-354. See also for a recent "update" of that last study Carvalheiro, L. G., W. E. Kunin, P. Keil, J. Aguirre-Guti?rrez, W. N. Ellis, R. Fox, Q. Groom, S. Hennekens, W. Van Landuyt, D. Maes, F. Van de Meutter, D. Michez, P. Rasmont, B. Ode, S. G. Potts, M. Reemer, S. P. M. Roberts, J. Schamin?e, M. F. WallisDeVries, and J. C. Biesmeijer. 2013. Species richness declines and biotic homogenisation have slowed down for NW-European pollinators and plants. Ecology Letters 16:870-878. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ele.12121/abstract (open access) Personally, I think the effect of neo-nicotinoids on hover flies is less severe than on insects relying very strongly on orientation in the landscape, such as bees. All species rely for their survival or reproduction on finding their way back to a nest. Even in solitary species, females need to find the way to each "nest" in order to gather enough food for the eggs to develop into larvae and pupate. the biochemical action of neo-nicotinoids is specifically aimed at disruption of the transmission of neural signals. Even at very low levels, this leads to disorientation in bees. Although doses to which these bees (and other insects) are themselves exposed may not be lethal, they lead to disorientation, resulting in much less individuals returning with food to the nests, and a disruption of specific behavioral symptomes, such as the cleaning behaviour of social bees in the nest, leading to fungal infestations, parasite growth and so on. In hover flies, however, this is less important. They don't actively store food, but solely depend on nectar and pollen for their own activity, and do not rely on excellent landscape orientation for survival (at least that's my hunch). But maybe that's only true for eurytopic and migrant species. However, a recent study performed in the Netherlands on aquatic invertebrates showed detrimental effects of neo-nicotinoids on species diversity and abundance, among which also Diptera http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0062374 the paper is open access. I hope this was useful.

However as an individual who is aware of the issue, I can say on my walks around my home area [in northern Virginia, outside of Washington], etc., I have over the recent years seen a distinct decline in honey bees, but other pollinators, including syrphids and other bees, not much change. Syrphids maintain their relative abundance as pollinators as their life-history does not depend on pollen [beyond some limited evidence that suggest egg production may be dependent on female health, etc., and there amount of pollen females taken in, etc.] Oh, well ...

I already have most of your other syrphid publications including a well used copy of your 'Syrphidae of the West Indies' which I have found so useful, particularly during visits to St Lucia (2011) and Cuba (2006 and 2012). A surprising species (males and females) I recorded from Cuba during both visits was Palpada furcata (Wied.) and I have been unable to find any references for this species occurring in Cuba or elsewhere in the West Indies. Are you aware of any records? If not, do you think it is worth publishing and , if so, which journal might accept a note? We have not met as I have been unable to attend previous Syrphidae meetings due to work pressures as Head of Collections for Hampshire County Council Museums Service, a large regional museum service in the UK. However, I have been collecting and studying Syrphidae since the early 1980's (although originally a fish biologist by training) working mainly in France during periods of vacation from my 'day job'. Since my early retirement in late 2012, I now have more time to concentrate on my research interests. I am currently busy sorting through syrphid material collected from the Russian Far East and Altai prior and post the symposia in Novosibirsk. An absolutely brilliant trip and great to meet up with people like Jeff Skevington, Ximo Mengual, as well as the Dutch and German contingents. Also, seeing Ante Vujic again was a plus as we had corresponded and met previously in relation to work on Merodon in the eastern Mediterranean (particularly Chios and Cyprus). Unfortunately, I was the only person from the UK able to make the trip and symposia this time which was a shame. However, it was not the best symposia (in terms of content) I have ever attended although the location was excellent with very good collecting actually on campus. Anyway, all the best for the future.

At this moment, we can say that the meeting will take place from June 4th to 8th of 2015. I discussed with some of you the possible locations of the next meeting. There were two options: - Bonn city; this option means that everyone must look for his/her accommodation. Talks would take place in the museum. - outside Bonn, in a location where we can stay together. Bj?rn found a great place to stay in Monschau, the Hotel Carat: http://www.carathotel.de/start/ . Monschau is a historic town with beautiful environs, close to the Eifel Natural Park. At this point, I would like to start a discussion with all of you who pretend to come. The discussion or "poll" is about the "lodging price" you would pay to attend the meeting. here the quote we received for four nights, including breakfast and lunch, but WITHOUT dinner: - Single room: 85 euros per night. Total (4 nights) = 340 euros - Double room: 70 euros per night. Total (4 nights) = 280 euros As you can imagine, this is the best quote we can get and there are some basic things not included. I would like everyone (yes! everyone of you) gives me his opinion about the location and the prices. Why am I doing this? Before sending the first official letter, I want that the maximum number of participants come and participate giving talks, and posters. Based on the last experience in Novosibirsk, I decided to go ahead and make this explicit poll to continue and perpetuate the high attendance of previous symposia. Please answer and give us your opinion. The Organizing Committee of the 8th International Symposium on Syrphidae welcomes all of you!

I would love to come and at the moment it seems that its feasible to participate, although it is during my teaching time. The location seems o.k. The price is quite high, but acceptable regarding the prices in the region. But I have one recommendation: maybe Axel Ssymank can be of some help in finding cheaper alternatives in the region? I remember he organized a meeting of the German dipterists (although I could not be there) in the vicinity of Bonn and these meetings are always in accomodations not so expensive. Maybe you could contact him. But, as I said, for me (as a German who is used to such prices) the price is affordable. I am very curious how it was in Novosibirsk, maybe one of you who participated can post a short summary of the meeting on the Syrphid list ?

Axel is also involved in the Organizing Committee. Yes, there is another "more affordable" place, but they are normally "youth hostels" with less facilities or amenities. We based our choice in the last experiences (Finland, Serbia, Russia), where the hotels were as good as or better than our choice. "Low cost" symposium might be an option, but we would like to keep the level of amenities and facilities.

At this stage I cannot say with any certainty whether I will be able to attend. I have been pretty much unemployed for the past 4 years and my finances are taking a hammering - especially as I look to have absolutely no work at all lined up for this winter (I've managed to get enough to eek out a living for the past 4 years but not enough to fund trips abroad). So, my advice is book what you think will work. A venue in Germany will be reasonably attractive - do please check whether you are talking about double or twin rooms. Double suggests sharing a bed, twin is just sharing a room - a vast difference - I certainly don't welcome sharing a bed unless the other occupant is female and lovely!

My work with hover flies is restricted to one species, Heringia calcarata, and deals exclusively with its behavior, ecology and role as a biocontrol agent, so those are the topics about which I'm mainly interested. Given a sufficient breadth of presentation topics, I would like to participate in one of your meetings and would be especially excited about interacting with anyone who could provide insight as to how we might entice this species to mate in captivity. This is currently the main hurdle in our efforts toward its potential introduction to New Zealand.

The prices and location look ok, though I understand totally where Roger is coming from (regarding finances!). What worries me are the dates. At the end of the academic year we are completely swamped with administration and it may be difficult to get away in early June, though it's better than later in June. Beginning of July is best, but perhaps the date change is not an option. Thanks so much for being involved in organizing and asking questions.

The time for the symposium, for the collectors, is indeed best in June, so count me in on this part. For the symposium it is very good to have all participants close to each other. The option in Monschau is a very good one, and close to very nice nature. For the postsymposium trip this is really great. The costs are rather high, but I think anywhere in west Europe you will have these prices. So for me lets have it in June in Monschau.

If it is a collecting trip then maybe it should be a longer trip for those who want such things, but, if the main focus is the symposium then surely that should take priority and should aim to fit with the academic year. For me, the first two weeks of July will be out completely. My preference would be for late July or August as any earlier gets in the way of key fieldwork. At the end of the day you will not please everybody and therefore you must make a decision and run with what fits the profile you seek. You will not get a unanimous vote either way. Early June will knock out many academics and possibly people like me who will head for under-recorded areas of the UK. Go later and you won't satisfy the needs of those who wish to collect. My big concern is that the original model that Ulrich so excellently set was a symposium. It is this, I would argue, that has helped so much in galvanising the work of various teams, and so it seems to me that the priority should be the engagement that stimulates new research collaborations. Field trips have been a later addition, but seem now to be the tail wagging the dog.

The prices and location look ok, though I understand totally where Roger is comin! g from (regarding finances!). What worries me are the dates. At the end of the academic year we are completely swamped with administration and it may be difficult to get away in early June, though it's better than later in June. Beginning of July is best, but perhaps the date change is not an option. Thanks so much for being involved in organizing and asking questions.

Talks would take place in the museum. - outside Bonn, in a location where we can stay together. Bj?rn found a great place to stay in Monschau, the Hotel Carat: http://www.carathotel.de/start/ [5] .

We had a large discussion in Novosibirsk whether we should continue with this or not. Based on the assistance to the Russian meeting, I was the first to vote against a "collecting meeting", and I want to rescue the original goal of our meetings: to get together and share our experiences. Chosen dates are just one wee earlier than the symposia in Alicante and Russia, and two weeks earlier than Serbia. Leiden was in September and Glasgow in August. many colleagues already told me that they have field trips organised in late June because is the best collecting time. many others will not come in July or August because is "holiday time" in their countries. I'm not trying to justify myself, just to let you know that we have thought a lot about dates and goals, and we want to have you all here... more than having a nice collecting. That's why we booked 3 days of talks, as in the earlier symposia. Guys interested in field work can get together either before or after the meeting, and this has a null influence on our decision. Again, the question was more about the location and rates, but I like to read opinions about the main objective of our meetings. I understand the concern of academics, but I have been student too; early June is full of exams, but a weekend off for a symposium is possible.
