Dipterists Forum
United Kingdom
Приєднався 17 жов 2020
Dipterists Forum promotes the study, recording and conservation of true flies in the British Isles.
Flies are amazingly diverse and varied, and studying them can be hugely rewarding. It is true that some are pests or disease carriers but most are beneficial, many are attractive and some are spectacular.
Watch our Flies Are Fascinating video to find out what we do, or have a look at our website: www.dipterists.org.uk/
Why not join us? And help us find out more about flies. There’s much to be discovered.
We welcome beginners, as well as experienced dipterists and professional entomologists. You don’t need to be an expert to make really important discoveries and contribute to our knowledge.

interesting. went to a moth trapping event at my local park and the moth expert said moths might only take a few hours to migrate from africa, which seems ridiculous, but makes a lot of sense if they are being whisked along by the wind
1:17:05 is where the audio/presentation ends.
I wonder if you've done a video on Hermetia illucens.
House flies make great feeders for wild lizards and wild spiders. They are soft and have a lot of stuff in them.
Oh cool, a fly group.
Could you provide a source or reference to justify the rule of thumb that classifies models with an AUC-ROC of 90% as very good, 85% as good, and 80% as acceptable? (time 1:06:28)
This is amazing ...thanks a lot.
Thank you very much for sharing this lecture. (note for myslef:MaxENT talk 32:03).
✨ "Promo sm"
Thank you very much for your talk on species distribution modelling! Is there a tutorial script for your maxent/ensamble code? I am currently trying to compare a couple of different sdm scripts to look for the best method to fit my data.
Terrific stuff, your images are lovely examples of high maiden old-growth Beech woodland experiencing a phase of canopy collapse. It would be interesting to know whether the abundance of Bracken is due to the dominance of brown earth soils.
how i wish the R script was available
A wonderful talk - I would love to hear how you made that setup perhaps an article in the dipterists forum one day?
Proud moment for me
Mashallah great very much excellent
Proud man❤

Really enjoyable - I wish I lived nearer the New Forest so I could take part
This recording is important. However, I have felt that my recording have not been welcomed. so have only been submitted to the normal county recorders and and wildlife trusts, where I do most of my collecting. I have assisted at Hoverfly workshops, and lead workshops on other Diptera families. But if I submit Syrphidae the record sets I get a lot of unfair feedback, like that a rare species, and it wont be at that location. so we will reject the other 100s of records. I agree, it shouldn't be there, but it was, and if you don't trust me I have the specimen for you to check. but that doesn't seem to matter. Because of the Diptera families I go for, I am not in Syrphidae collecting locations, mostly damp, dark woodland, and boggy locations,, so my records will be a little "left field"
Great talk, thanks very much for this. I work in Luxembourg at the MNHN and in spring we will be starting fieldwork for a countrywide hoverfly atlas; I will be keeping an eye out for these in particular now :) Please do get in touch if you think it will be helpful.
Tantany Wood is one place worth a check. There are a lot of resent tree falls. For me, it is a magic spot for fungus gnats, but opening up. Most collectors don't have permits to collect in the NF. Just send an email to King's House (formally Queen's House) Lymington. it is really not an issue to get. But a big issue if you don't have one, especially if at Denny wood.
Hi Mark, Sorry only just seeing this. Thanks for the nod about the Tantany Wood, its close to some areas we covered but will check and if not perhaps scope it over the winter. Will also follow up on the permit too. Much appreciated! Thanks Andy
Hi. I have recently been filming flies. What I do is not perfect, as my hands often shake and the image is not steady. Filming is often also difficult when it is windy. I have posted a few videos showcasing flies, if anyone wants to take a look. I plan to post a video at some point either today or tomorrow of a beautiful hoverfly I filmed in Greywell. I have just subscribed to you and I am keen to watch some of this channel's videos and I would be grateful for any constrctive feedback about my fly videos. I have given the title of the series, "Come Fly With Me." Thank you.

Mark Welfare - what a sensible suggestion no food no hoverflies the most important thing is habitat, pointless counting if we learn nothing
Hi lads your all a bit scarey for newbies like me have loads of photo records but based in ireland . will watch the recording as i still have jobs to do outside
