All published records of 148 species of hoverflies from Morocco are reviewed and appropriate literature references, new locality records, and relevant comments are provided for each species. The list is supplemented with records from new field surveys. Two species, (Fabricius, 1805) and Loew, 1843 are recorded for the first time in Morocco. The new checklist comprises 150 nominal species from three subfamilies, 14 tribes, and 49 genera.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how disturbances (like wildfires and storms) impact biodiversity, highlighting that effects vary based on disturbance severity, landscape, and species community characteristics.
- - Results showed mixed outcomes: while some species groups thrived in disturbed environments (e.g., those preferring open canopies), others (like ground-dwelling organisms) faced declines, indicating that disturbances can have both positive and negative impacts on different taxa.
- - The highest overall biodiversity (α-diversity) was observed in areas with moderate disturbance severity, specifically when about 55% of trees were affected, suggesting that not all disturbances are detrimental to biodiversity.
