- Emerging issues and challenges in conservation of biodiversity in the rangelands of Tanzania (2013, background): “On the other hand, expanding species in Sweden seem to be increasing also in other countries (Betzholtz et al. 2013; Fox et al. 2011).”
- Identifying key knowledge needs for evidence‐based conservation of wild insect pollinators: a collaborative cross‐sectoral exercise (2013, background): “The direct evidence we have of declines in wild pollinator abundance over time (as opposed to declines in diversity or range) comes largely from long-term data on butterflies (and, to a lesser extent, moths), collected through participatory monitoring schemes with defined survey protocols involving ”
- The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “…size, and the northern range margins of a sample of eight macromoth species had shifted northwards considerably (mean, 79.5 km 10 year)1 northward shift, 1982–2009), rivalling the largest equivalent results for butterflies and Odonata (Hill et al., 2002; Hickling et al., 2005; Fox et al., 2011b).”
- Declines in insect abundance and diversity: We know enough to act now (2019, background): “In the United Kingdom, 10-year trends show that 52% of butterfly species have declined in abundance at monitored sites and 47% of butterfly geographic ranges in that same region are also reduced (Fox et al., 2015).”
- Is the insect apocalypse upon us? How to find out (2020, background): “…important aspect of many recent studies is the decline of formerly common species, not just rare taxa (Conrad et al., 2006; Van Dyck et al., 2009; Fox et al., 2015), with the realization that such losses likely come with changes to ecosystem connectivity and function (Gaston and Fuller, 2007;…”
