Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Hence, global warming has increased the populations of certain butterflies in northern Europe (Kuussaari et al., 2007), expanded their geographical distribution (Isaac et al.”
Emerging issues and challenges in conservation of biodiversity in the rangelands of Tanzania (2013, result): “Comparisons with other regions The present results from southern Sweden show an interesting parallel to studies elsewhere in Europe (Kuussaari et al. 2007; van Swaay et al. 2011; van Swaay et al. 2006; Wenzel et al. 2006).”
Species traits explain recent range shifts of Finnish butterflies (2009, background): “…with seven habitat types [eskers and other sandy areas, rocky outcrops, forest edges and clearings, open seminatural grasslands, margins of cultivated fields, mires and bogs, and open fells (situated in the north)] based on the classifications by Marttila et al. (1990) and Kuussaari et al. (2007).”
Statistics for citizen science: extracting signals of change from noisy ecological data (2014, methodology): “Another innovation is to add the study site (or grid cell) as a random effect (Kuussaari et al. 2007; Roy et al. 2012), to control for uneven sampling in space.”
Species traits are associated with the quality of bioclimatic models (2008, background): “Interestingly, Kuussaari et al. (2007) recently showed that mobile butterfly species were more likely to expand their ranges in Finland during recent decades.”
Sown wildflower strips for insect conservation: a review (2011, background): “…declines of insects is that of butterflies andmoths (Maes &VanDyck, 2001; Conrad et al., 2006; van Swaay et al., 2006; Wenzel et al., 2006; Kuussaari et al., 2007; Polus et al., 2007; Nilsson et al., 2008), with habitat loss and fragmentation – especially of semi-natural meadows and…”
Homogenization of lepidopteran communities in intensively cultivated agricultural landscapes (2010, methodology): “In each 0Æ25 km2 study landscape we placed ten 50 m long transects, where lepidopteran diversity was sampled (see Kuussaari et al. 2007b for an illustration of a sampled landscape).”
Long‐term land‐use changes and extinction of specialised butterflies (2008, background): “However, in Central Europe and in England, butterfly population trends among forest-edge species are strongly negative (Benes et al., 2006; van Swaay et al., 2006), contrasting with the results from Finland.”
Declines of prairie butterflies in the midwestern USA (2011, unknown): “Although this is consistent with overall patterns of specialists declining more than generalists (e.g. Pollard and Eversham 1995; Fox et al. 2006; Kuussaari et al. 2007) prairie specialists are in even greater peril than butterflies specialized to other midwestern USA biomes (Schlicht and Orwig 1998”
