Increasing crop heterogeneity enhances multitrophic diversity across agricultural regions

Clélia Sirami, +57 more
TL;DR: This study provides large-scale, multitrophic, cross-regional evidence that increasing crop heterogeneity can be an effective way to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes without taking land out of agricultural production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the effects of vegetation type on hoverfly (Diptera: Syrphidae) diversity in a Mediterranean landscape: implications for conservation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared hoverfly diversity among sampling sites by prospecting all three diversity levels, alpha, beta and gamma, at each landscape, and highlighted the importance of open clearings in the vast mass of scrubland in the scrubland-dominated landscape in order to provide extra resources for the hoverflies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The early stages and life histories of three Eumerus and two Merodon species (Diptera: Syrphidae) from the Mediterranean region

TL;DR: The Eumerus larvae studied here appear to more saprophagous thanphytophagous but M. luteihumerus at least, seems to be a strict phytophage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) and hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) from a Mediterranean forest: towards a better understanding of their biology for species conservation

TL;DR: The first integrative study on saproxylic Coleoptera and Diptera Syrphidae from a representative Mediterranean forest in Cabañeros National Park in Central Spain found that the sa proxylic biodiversity in this National Park was characterized by a significant number of Central European and North African species.
