Urbanisation may have detrimental effects on communities of parasitoids, affecting their
species richness, abundance, and species dominance. Here we investigated the influence
of the degree of urbanisation on parasitoid communities of Liriomyza commelinae
(Frost)(Diptera: Agromyzidae), a leafminer of Commelina erecta L.(Commelinaceae), in the
city of Córdoba, Argentina. To study changes in species richness, the specific composition of
parasitic complexes and their degree of impact on the leafminer, 18 sampling sites from the …
