Soil salinity determines the diversity of snail-killing flies (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) in brackish marshes

Brackish marshes resulting from embankments are a rare habitat in Europe and for which there is little knowledge of the entomofauna. There is an urgent need to document the insect diversity and its unique properties in the light of ongoing habitat losses. The current study focuses on snail-killing f...
