“…Like other Diptera, many Calliphoridae species also have seasonal activity dynamics (Phillips et al, 2004;Dufek et al, 2019;Mali & Zambare, 2019;Makaida et al, 2021). In our experiments, in contrast to drosophilids, the family Calliphoridae was found in oak forest in higher numbers.…”

In a changing climate, phenological observations are gaining new importance. They can tell what changes are taking place in certain environmental conditions. The studies were conducted in 2019 within the territory of the Republic of Mordovia (the center of the European part of Russia). Beer traps (beer as a bait) were used to collect Diptera. The material was collected in the period from April to October in different forest biotopes (pine forest, lime forest, aspen forest, birch forest and oak forest) and the air temperature was recorded at the same time. In total, more than 14.000 specimens of Diptera were recorded. Overall, 29 families were recorded. The largest number of families was observed for birch (23 families) and pine (24 families) forests, the smallest number – in aspen forest (16 families). The families Muscidae, Drosophilidae, Calliphoridae had the largest number of captured individuals (44.5%, 35.2%, 7.6% of the total number of individuals respectively). The highest number of individuals was captured in oak forest. The dynamics of abundance in all biotopes were similar and were characterized by the same number of declines and rises. The first small significant peak in the number of Diptera occurred in the first half of summer. A slight increase in the number of specimenі occurred in mid-June. In the second half of September, there was a gradual increase in the number and the maximum peak was recorded in mid-October, then there was a decline. The autumn increase in the number of Diptera in all five biotopes exceeded the summer peak by several times. This dynamic was typical for most families. However, species from the family Lonchaeidae had the peak in July. For our better understanding of the changes in the seasonal dynamics of the number of Diptera, long-term observations in different climatic zones are needed.

“…To avoid possible edge effects, all the samples were installed with a minimum distance of 300 meters from the forest edge. From this limit, four trails with a minimum In each trail, five trees were systematically selected, with distances of 200m between them, to reduce the autocorrelation effect and ensure sample independence (Figueiredo et al 2018, Dufek et al 2020. None of the selected trees were fruit trees or were in bloom, thus avoiding interferences from other fly attractants (Figure 1-2a).…”

The influence of food types, reproductive behaviour, and the existence of a possible stratification to the attractiveness of Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae flies may contribute to the definition of collection methodologies. Thus, we assessed the effectiveness of traps with two bait types exposed at two different heights in the forests for collecting the aforementioned families. Traps were exposed in the Amazon rainforest floodplain area, where 40 traps were installed in 20 trees, in three periods of the year. On each tree, one trap was installed at 0.6 m and the other at 10 m above the ground, with either bovine lung or fermented banana. A total of 1,173 individuals were collected, including 10 species of Calliphoridae (962 individuals) and four species of Mesembrinellidae (211 individuals). Of the total in each family, Calliphoridae was most abundant in 0.6m lung bait traps (41%) and Mesembrinellidae in the 0.6 m banana bait traps (29%). Calliphoridae showed greater species richness, abundance, and differentiation in composition in low traps with lung as bait. In conclusion, only dipteran species from Calliphoridae have been affected and responded the collection methodologies employed of we, which may highlight remarkable differences in collection and subsequent data interpretation of inventories and monitoring using these insects.

“…As far as my knowledge, in the Eastern Chaco District, the only studies that have assessed possible indicator species were those of Dufek et al (2019Dufek et al ( , 2020 with flies (Diptera) and Calcaterra et al (2022) with ants (Formicidae). Dufek et al (2019Dufek et al ( , 2020 found indicator species of anthropized and natural habitats and Calcaterra found indicator species of Chaco forests. The last authors found that the main indicator was a native species in the Neotropics, but a worldwide invader.…”

A��. The spiders of the Salticidae family can be valuable indicators of various environmental conditions because they are distributed over almost all continents and are found in a wide variety of habitats and in all climatic seasons. It was assessed if species of Salticidae function as indicators of the conservation status of habitats and if the use of adult+juvenile or adult-only data yields different results. Spiders were collected in two natural parks and two semi-natural areas located between both parks in an area of Eastern Chaco, Argentina. The samples were taken from three types of habitats: foliage, leaf li�er and grassland. The analysis of indicator species was conducted with the indicator value index (IndVal). A high IndVal value for a species in a habitat (e.g., semi-natural grassland) indicates that it is specific (relatively abundant) and faithful (evenly distributed) to that habitat. The species that presented IndVal values >0.45 and >0.70 were classified as detectors and indicators, respectively. Indicator species are highly characteristic of a group (exclusive or nearly exclusive), while detector species prefer a group, but are not exclusive to it. Philira micans was found to be a detector for the semi-natural foliage; Semiopyla viperina, for the natural leaf li�er and Maeota dorsalis, for the natural grassland. The use of the adult+juvenile dataset provided more information about the number of IndVal-significant species; the three detector species mentioned were detected exclusively from this dataset. This study demonstrates that Salticidae spiders in the studied area are sensitive to the conservation status of the analyzed habitats as detector species were recorded. Besides, this study demonstrates that the adult+juvenile dataset improves the detection of species sensitive to changes.
