BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “…et al. 2011); this mechanism could therefore contribute to the increasing nestling failure rates underpinning the productivity declines detected for Shortall et al. 2009), particularly moths (Conrad et al. 2006, Fox 2013), have been reported across the UK and these may also impact on the…”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, result): “Both studies agree with the declining trend in flying insects (mainly Diptera) observed a decade earlier in parts of Southern Britain (Shortall et al., 2009).”
Interpreting insect declines: seven challenges and a way forward (2020, background): “This will, of course, come as no surprise to entomologists, who have been reading about declining insect populations in Insect Conservation and Diversity, among other journals, for at least a decade (e.g. Shortall et al., 2009; Fox, 2013; Cardoso & Leather, 2019).”
Geographical, temporal and taxonomic biases in insect GBIF data on biodiversity and extinction (2021, background): “For example, Shortall et al. (2009) reported drops in flying-insect biomass, at one of four sampling sites over a 30-year period, and Fox et al. (2014) reported that 260 British moth species declined over a 30-year period.”
More than 75 percent decline over 27 years in total flying insect biomass in protected areas (2017, unknown): “Malaise traps are known to collect a much wider diversity of insect species (e.g. [29–31]) as compared to suction traps (e.g. [28]) and are therefore considered superior as a method of collecting flying insects.”
