Optimizing the biodiversity gain from agri-environment schemes (2009, background): “They are considered a sensitive indicator group for measuring biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems (Luff and Woiwod, 1995; New, 2004; Thomas, 2005), although they have hitherto been little studied in relation to the impacts of farmland management (but see Merckx et al., 2009).”
Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “…to ecosystem disturbances caused by forest thinning, grazing, species invasion, forest fires, forest conversion, forest fragmentation, and other forms of disturbance (Carvalho and Vasconcelos, 1999; Vasconcelos et al., 2000; Maeto and Sato, 2004; Sinclair and New, 2004; Stephens and Wagner, 2006).”
Artificial night lighting disrupts sex pheromone in a noctuid moth (2015, background): “Moths represent a largely nocturnal group of∼140 000 species (New, 2004; Bazinet et al., 2013) that are often attracted to sources of artificial light at night (Van Langevelde et al.”
The ‘night shift’: nocturnal pollen‐transport networks in a boreal pine forest (2011, background): “Finally, moths are regarded as important indicators of environmental change (Luff & Woiwod, 1995; New, 2004; Thomas, 2005; Conrad et al., 2006) and accumulating evidence suggests that populations in Europe and North America are in decline (Conrad et al.”
