Resumen: Muscidae es una de las familias más diversas dentro de los dípteros caliptrados y presenta hábitos extremadamente variados. La mayoría de sus larvas son carroñeras y tienen un profundo impacto en los ecosistemas ya que contribuyen a la descomposición de la materia orgánica. Este trabajo estable el inventario de especies para la provincia de Buenos Aires listando 40 especies distribuidas en 24 géneros. Paralelamente se aumenta la distribución de las especies presentes en la provincia en todo el país. Se proporciona la redescripción de cuatro especies y se aporta un clave con carácteres diagnósticos. Se describe la dinámica de fl uctuación anual, preferencia por cebos y microhábitats de las especies más abundantes presentes en un gradiente de urbanización del Partido de Almi- rante Brown, asi como las características de sinantropía en un período de dos años. Se caracteriza a las familias de dípteros caliptrados respecto de su elenco específi co, abun- dancia y riqueza en distintos espacios verdes de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, estableciendo patrones de abundancia y riqueza del ensamble respecto de los tipos de ce- bos utilizados y de los microambientes en un período de un año. Se obtiene el inventario preliminar de las especies de dípteros caliptrados en la Reserva Natural Estricta Otamendi y se caracteriza a las comunidades de dípteros en términos de composición y riqueza de taxa en dos ambientes con distinta composición vegetal. Se observó una tendencia ge- neral en la preferencia de las especies de Muscidae por los ambientes de sombra, ya sea proporcionado de manera artifi cial en los espacios urbanizados o en las áreas boscosas de los ambientes naturales y se observó una mayor riqueza sobre los cebos de heces respecto de los animales en descomposición (hígado y vísceras de pollo).

Specifi c composition and seasonality. Abstract: Muscidae is one of the most diverse families within of the calytrate Diptera and present extremely diverse habits. Most larvae are scavengers and have a profound impact on eco- systems because contributing to the decomposition of organic matter. This work show the inventory of species for the province of Buenos Aires listing 40 species in 24 genera. At the same time increases the distribution of species of the province throughout the country. It provides the redescription of four species and a key with diagnostic characters. It de- scribe the dynamics of annual fl uctuation, baits and microenvironments preference of the most abundant species present in a gradient of urbanization of the Partido de Almirante Brown, as well as the characteristics of sinantropía over a period of two years. It char- acterizes families of calyptrate Diptera about their specifi c list, abundance and richness in different green spaces in the City of Buenos Aires, establishing patterns of abundance and richness of the assembly on the types of bait used and the microenvironments in a pe- riod of one year. Obtained a preliminary survey of calyptrate Diptera in Otamendi Strict Nature Reserve and is characterized Dipteran communities in terms of composition and richness of taxa in two environments with different plant composition. There was a gen- eral trend in the preference of Muscidae species by the environments of shade, either ar- tifi cially provided in the urbanized areas or forest areas in natural environments and there was greater wealth on the baits of feces on decaying animal (chicken liver and viscera). Key words: Muscidae, Entomology, Biodiversity, Taxonomy, Specifi c Composition, Ar- gentina. 2 Agradecimientos A mis directores, Juan C. Mariluis y Juan A.

True flies associated with decaying wood add further significant species to the site’s saproxylic fauna. There is also a strong

We built presence/absence matrices and calculated the C-score index to test negatively-associated distributions and guild proportionality based on the following algorithms: total number of fi xed lines (FL), total number of fi xed columns (FC), and the effect of the average size of the populations along lines (W) for 5000 randomizations. We used null models to generate random communities that were not structured by competition and evaluated the patterns generated using three models: general, trophic guilds, and taxonomic guilds. All three assembly rules were tested in each model. The null hypothesis was corroborated in all FL X FC co-occurrence analyses. In addition, 11 analyses of the models using the W algorithm showed the same pattern observed previously. Three analyses using the W algorithm indicated that species co- occurred more frequently than expected by chance. According to analyses of co-occurrence and guild proportionality, the coexistence of muscid species is not regulated by constant body size ratios.

September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.

  • Scottish Pollinating Flies

    Scottish Pollinating Flies

    Scottish Pollinating Flies Introduction to True flies True flies form one of the largest and most diverse orders of insects called Diptera (meaning two wings). There are around 160,000 species worldwide in 150 families, with 7,200 species from over 90 families recorded in the UK. They inhabit every continent and almost every terrestrial and freshwater niche on the planet which is testament to their adaptability. True flies differ from other insects in that they have retained only their front pair of wings, with the hind pair having evolved into small club-shaped appendages called ‘halteres’ which act as gyroscopes and facilitate greater aerobatic agility. They provide a range of ecological services including pollination, controlling pest species, the decomposition of organic material, and supplementing the dietary requirements of a wide range of other organisms. Pollinating flies and other dipterans Of the four most significant orders of pollinating insects, flies are the most abundant. Approximately 1,500 of the 7,200 British species are thought to contribute to pollination. Hoverflies (family Syrphidae) are especially significant pollinators, but some other families (the house flies and their relatives) are just as important. The remainder of the 90+ families contribute relatively few, or no pollinating species. True flies contribute to more pollination in Scotland than any other order of insects, mainly due to the sparsity, absence or selectiveness of bees in colder, northern upland habitats. Below are some examples that demonstrate the diversity of true flies that may be encountered.
