To assess the effectiveness of protected areas in preventing biodiversity decline. We first test whether species richness of butterfly assemblages is higher within European Natura 2000 (N2000) sites than in their surroundings. We then assess temporal trends in butterfly richness and test whether these trends differ inside and outside the N2000 network.

- Insect responses to global change offer signposts for biodiversity and conservation (2020, background): “While there is evidence that insects have declined in protected areas as well as the wider landscape (Hallmann et al., 2017; Rada et al., 2019; Salcido et al., 2020), declining trends are weaker in protected areas (van Klink et al.”
