Long‐term land‐use changes and extinction of specialised butterflies (2008, background): “…is from only a few monitoring schemes and repeated inventories during the last 50 years (e.g. Pollard & Yates, 1993; Huldén et al., 2000; Maes & van Dyck, 2001; Benton et al., 2002; Conrad et al., 2006; Fox et al., 2006; Öckinger et al., 2006; Franzén & Johannesson, 2007; Kuussaari et al., 2007).”

Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Among the 269 species of macro-lepidopterans monitored for 50 years at the Kullaberg Nature Reserve (Sweden), 45% were declining, 22 were coloniser species and 159 were no longer found in 2004 (Franzén and Johannesson, 2007).”
Light pollution is a driver of insect declines (2020, background): “Over the last two decades, researchers have uncovered steep declines in insect diversity and biomass (Dirzo et al., 2014; Potts et al., 2010) across geographically distinct areas including Germany (Hallmann et al., 2017), the Netherlands (van Langevelde et al., 2018; van Strien et al., 2019), Sweden”
The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “…population trends over time (Conrad et al., 2004; Groenendijk&Ellis, 2011), whereasMattila et al. (2006) found adult overwintering to be a significant predictor of increased extinction risk and Franzén and Johannesson (2007) found no effects of overwintering strategy on species persistence.”
