  • We considered the Syrphidae as a bioindicator of species and interaction richness among the Diptera, because i) they have been traditionally used next to beetles in studies concerning saproxylic insects [33], [34], and present a high number of saproxylic species around Europe [33], using a wide range of microhabitats [35], what has led them to be used as indicators of woodland quality [24], [34], to be flagships for the conservation of the wider community of saproxylic organisms [35] or to be included in national red lists [36], and ii) they represent the best studied family (or just the unique) of Diptera in the study site, presenting high number and abundance of mainly exclusive saproxylic species highly strengthened with tree hollow microhabitats [20].
