The Effect of Decreasing Temperature on Arthropod Diversity and Abundance in Horse Dung Decomposition Communities of Southeastern Massachusetts
Figure 5
Stacked plots of temperature over the length of the experiment, as well as the fluctuations of select groups of arthropods (large flies, small flies, hister beetles, and hydrophilid beetles) as their abundance varied over time. Small flies are represented by the genera: Sepsis and Eristalis. Large flies are represented by the genera: Scathophaga, Leptocera, Lucilla, Phorima, Chrysomya, Musca, Hydrotaea, Sarcophaga, and Ravina.
