There never seems to be a shortage of alien species like Eristalis tenax, Eristalis arbustorum, and Syritta pipiens, but many native species seemed to be in short supply. Sorry that I can't provide an explanation, but I thought it might be of interest to note that the dearth may not have been restricted to your area.

Me contacter. --------------040506020302040901040504 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitI have been collecting hoverflies in Malaise traps as part of my undergraduate project and have now identified those I have collected. Due to the time constraints on this type of project, the collection period was only from late August to mid-November and the numbers I collected were very poor. I can partly attribute this to the quality of habitat I chose at the nature reserve I used but wondered if there was any connection with the unusually hot weather we had this year. Could there have been feeding restrictions for phytophagous larvae? Has anyone else noticed a dearth in hoverflies this year? In spite of the shortage of actual numbers I have, I think, a few interesting results and a record now for one species that according to the literature was previously restricted to another area. Perhaps, once I have had identification confirmed my results may be of interest. I intend to use Syrph the Net together with other sources to identify hoverfly ecological attributes and to determine which, if any, determine hoverfly guild structure. Due to the paucity of my actual data I will also be analysing data collected as part of a previous PhD thesis at a neighbouring site.
