Global warming and excess nitrogen may induce butterfly decline by microclimatic cooling (2006, background): “In contrast, flight periods of butterflies in the neighbouring British Isles (Roy & Sparks, 2000) have advanced for just 3.3 days on average over two decades and the trend is only significant for three out of 35 species.”
Effects of climatic change on the phenology of butterflies in the northwest Mediterranean Basin (2003, methodology): “Apparently, this result is not in agreement with the general lengthening and the more asymmetrical flight periods reported by Roy & Sparks (2000) for British butterflies.”
An examination of synchrony between insect emergence and flowering in Rocky Mountain meadows (2011, background): “…long-term phenology records also reinforce the importance of temperature for insects: springtime air temperatures are good correlates of the first appearances of insects such as honey bees (Gordo and Sanz 2006) and butterflies (Sparks and Yates 1997, Roy and Sparks 2000, Gordo and Sanz 2006).”
Trends and temperature response in the phenology of crops in Germany (2007, background): “…Matsumoto et al., 2003), the appearance of insects, e.g. advancement in the phenology of butterflies has been reported from a number of national (Roy & Sparks, 2000) and local studies (e.g. Forister & Shapiro, 2003; Stefanescu et al., 2003), and nesting and migration of birds (e.g. Crick et…”
Application of generalized additive models to butterfly transect count data (2001, background): “…Scheme (BMS), and provide important information on butter¯ y population ecology including the eþ ects of weather on abundance (Pollard, 1988), colonization and extinction (Pollard et al., 1996; Pollard & Yates, 1992), population synchrony (Sutcliþ e et al., 1996) and phenology (Roy & Sparks, 2000).”
The influences of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and movement: a review (2009, background): “The impact of some of these factors may change e.g. increased average temperatures through climate change are expected to be accompanied by increased variability in weather conditions (Easterling et al. 2000; Morecroft et al. 2002): e.g. drought (Roy and Sparks 2000) and precipitation.”
Insect overwintering in a changing climate (2010, background): “Early spring emergence has been recorded for many species over recent decades (Roy and Sparks, 2000; Gordo and Sanz, 2006; Hassal et al., 2007; van Asch et al., 2007) but the comparative fitness of early and late emerging individuals has received little attention.”
Unexpected phenological responses of butterflies to the interaction of urbanization and geographic temperature (2014, methodology): “…indicator of biological responses to environmental change (IPCC 2007), have been found with urbanization (White et al. 2002, Neil and Wu 2006) and are among the most common responses to global climate change (Roy and Sparks 2000, Forister and Shapiro 2003, Stefanescu et al. 2003, Parmesan 2007).”
The range margins of northern birds shift polewards (2004, positive): “Such ‘fingerprints’ of climate change include advancement in a species’ phenology (e.g. Beebee 1995, Crick et al. 1997, Roy & Sparks 2000, Fitter & Fitter 2002) and poleward shifts of range margins (Parmesan et al. 1999, Thomas & Lennon 1999).”
The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Insect Pests (2021, background): “Such changes in butterflies have been reported in the UK, where 26 of 35 observed species have advanced their first appearance [120,127].”
Global warming affects phenology and voltinism of Lobesia botrana in Spain (2010, background): “Some specific studies addressing the effects of global warming on the life cycle of several butterflies and moths (Roy & Sparks, 2000; Warren et al., 2001; Dell et al., 2005), including the Mediterranean climatic region (Forister & Shapiro, 2003; Stefanescu et al., 2003), support a tendency for a…”
The re-expansion and improving status of the silver-spotted skipper butterfly (Hesperia comma) in Britain: a metapopulation success story (2005, background): “Firstly, spring and summer temperatures in Britain have risen by approximately 1.5 and 1 °C, respectively, since the mid-1970s (Roy and Sparks, 2000), increasing the amount of habitat thermally suitable for breeding.”
Predicting impacts of global warming on population dynamics and distribution of arthropods in Japan (2005, background): “Butterflies have provided an especially good case for the analysis of the effects of temperature on distribution and abundance (e.g. Parmesan 1996; Parmesan et al.1999; Roy and Sparks 2000; Thomas et al. 2001).”
