Escape from natural enemies during climate‐driven range expansion: a case study (2008, background): “This expansion appears to have been triggered by the increases in temperature experienced in recent decades ( Asher et al. , 2001; Warren et al. , 2001; Fox et al. , 2006 ) and also by a shift in habitat and host plant used by the butterfly during the expansion ( Thomas et al. , 2001 ).”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Other studies indicate that 41 out of 54 common butterflies had been declining since the 1970s, with 26% of species showing decreases over 40% of their range (Fox et al., 2006), while 13% of 10-km squares in the monitoring grid reported disappearance of butterfly species (Thomas et al.”
The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “That these 337 species are considered widespread and generally common in Britain (Skinner, 2009; Waring et al., 2009) underscored the significance of Conrad et al.’s findings for biodiversity conservation (Fox et al., 2006b).”
Long‐term land‐use changes and extinction of specialised butterflies (2008, background): “, 2006), our knowledge for the numerically dominating insects is from only a few monitoring schemes and repeated inventories during the last 50 years (e.g. Pollard & Yates, 1993; Huldén et al., 2000; Maes & van Dyck, 2001; Benton et al., 2002; Conrad et al., 2006; Fox et al., 2006; Öckinger et al., ”
How too much care kills species: Grassland reserves, agri-environmental schemes and extinction of Colias myrmidone (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) from its former stronghold (2008, background): “…F. Kopecek Rychtalikova 1819, 688 01 Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic O. Konvicka CHKO Bile Karpaty, Nadrazni 318, 763 26 Luhacovice, Czech Republic L. Vitaz Kvetinova 1, 915 01 Nove Mesto nad Vahom, Slovakia are viewed by many as a hope for biodiversity of European grasslands (Fox et al. 2006).”
Assisted colonization in a changing climate: a test‐study using two U.K. butterflies (2009, background): “Despite recorded range shifts for these (Asher et al. 2001; Warren et al. 2001; Fox et al. 2006) and other invertebrate species across the United Kingdom (Hickling et al. 2005, 2006), rates of colonization are likely to be lagging behind the climatic changes.”
Distance sampling and the challenge of monitoring butterfly populations (2011, unknown): “One of the largest datasets on non-pest insect population dynamics comes from the UKButterflyMonitoring Scheme (UKBMS, Pollard & Yates 1993; Rothery & Roy 2001; Fox et al. 2006).”
Evidence based conservation of butterflies (2011, background): “…with this shift (and incidental reduction in nectar availability), many of the ca. 75 surviving populations of 1980 increased greatly in numbers and spread to found about 75 new colonies by 1990 and a further 100 populations a decade later, mainly colonising former sites (Fox et al. 2006).”
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”
A framework for assessing threats and benefits to species responding to climate change (2011, methodology): “Methods in Ecology and Evolution 2010 British Ecological Society, Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2, 125–142 locally, but it is not as yet extending its distribution at a broader geographical extent (Fox et al. 2006).”
