DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.06.026
Abstract: Abstract Responses of hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) to climate change remain mostly unexplored. Here, for the first time, we investigate the impact of climate change on both presence/absence and abundances of hoverfly species. We used generalized… read more here.
