Results of NMDS analyses. a Figure shows midge community compositions for Sweden (S), the Netherlands (N) and Italy (I). b NMDS analysis for farms (F), peri-urban (P) and, wetland (W) habitats based on number of midges trapped per species in each habitat and country. c NMDS analysis based on number of midges trapped per species at each location in each country and habitat (Sweden in blue: SF, SP and SW; the Netherlands in orange: NF, NP and NW; Italy in green: IF, IP and IW). The Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index was used to determine dissimilarities among midge community compositions. Stress value = 0.084 for panels a and b, which indicates a very good fit of the model. Stress value = 0.216 for panel c, which indicates a suspect fit of the model
