The faunistic knowledge of the Diptera of Morocco recorded from 1787 to 2021 is summarized and updated in this first catalogue of Moroccan Diptera species. A total of 3057 species, classified into 948 genera and 93 families (21 Nematocera and 72 Brachycera), are listed. Taxa (superfamily, family, genus and species) have been updated according to current interpretations, based on reviews in the literature, the expertise of authors and contributors, and recently conducted fieldwork.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how the microstructure and existing flaws in Lede and Noyant limestones affect their weathering behavior through acid tests and freeze-thaw cycles.
  • High-resolution X-ray CT, SEM-EDS, and thin section microscopy were used to observe and analyze the non-destructive 3D structural changes during weathering, revealing distinct patterns in each limestone type.
  • The results showed that while both limestones experienced similar weathering causes, their patterns differed significantly due to their unique microstructures, impacting how gypsum crystallizes and affects the stone.
