Further evidence for a global decline of the entomofauna (2020, background): “Thus, the increasing trends in occupancy among various arthropods in the UK since 1970 (Outhwaite et al. 2020) do not adequately reflect the fate of a large proportion of individual species (Conrad et al. 2004; Brooks et al. 2012; Dennis et al. 2019).”
Insect Declines in the Anthropocene. (2020, background): “Declines in carabids have been reported from western and northern European countries and New Zealand (14,33,34).”
Cascading extinctions as a hidden driver of insect decline (2020, background): “, 2006; Fox, 2013), specialist ground beetles depend on hedgerows and trees (Brooks et al., 2012) and overall species diversity declines with decreasing vegetation”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Overall, a 16% loss of carabid beetle biomass was recorded during the 15-year period (Brooks et al., 2012).”
Macro‐moth families differ in their attraction to light: implications for light‐trap monitoring programmes (2014, unknown): “These trends may form part of a wider insect biodiversity crisis (e.g. Conrad et al., 2006; Goulson et al., 2008; Brooks et al., 2012).”
Is the insect apocalypse upon us? How to find out (2020, background): “Many studies show that there are winners as well as losers in recent insect biodiversity change (Brooks et al., 2012; Boyes et al., 2019) and that net loss of insect abundance/biomass has not been reported from all study locations (Shortall et al.”
Where have all the beetles gone? Long‐term study reveals carabid species decline in a nature reserve in Northern Germany (2019, background): “However, it is difficult to infer that long-term insect decline appears as a uniform global trend over all regions, habitats and taxa, as the referred British study on carabid species concluded a positive population trend of carabids in woodland and hedges (Brooks et al., 2012).”
Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates (2014, unknown): “Table 4 shows LC 50 rates for different Hemiptera species.”
