Community structure of artificial container-breeding flies (Insecta: Diptera) in relation to the urbanization level

The changes in the community structure of flies breeding in small artificial containers along environments of different urbanization level were assessed at two spatial scales; i.e. patch and landscape. A total of 8400 water-filled flower vases were inspected in 14 cemeteries from temperate Argentina...
