The ‘night shift’: nocturnal pollen‐transport networks in a boreal pine forest (2011, background): “, moth species that as larvae feed on conifers are not declining (Conrad et al., 2004).”
Predicting extinction risk of butterflies and moths (Macrolepidoptera) from distribution patterns and species characteristics (2007, methodology): “From Finland and England, respectively, an alarming decline has been noted also among them (Huldén et al. 2000; Conrad et al. 2004).”
The state of the Dutch larger moth fauna (2011, background): “Implications As a consequence, we hypothesize that moth declines will have a huge impact on biodiversity in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom (cf Conrad et al. 2004) and, therefore, most likely in the whole of Northwestern Europe.”
Long‐term changes in the abundance of flying insects (2009, background): “Exceptions in the UK include butterflies and moths, many species of which have, indeed, been shown to be declining at alarming rates (Warren et al., 2001; Conrad et al., 2004, 2006; Thomas et al., 2004).”
The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “For example, in Great Britain and the Netherlands, species overwintering in the adult life-cycle stage had positive population trends over time (Conrad et al., 2004; Groenendijk&Ellis, 2011), whereasMattila et al.”
Biodiversity and extinction (2007, unknown): “…are best developed, there is evidence of long-term declines, particularly in moths and butterflies, likely principally as a consequence of habitat and climate change (eg, Cowley et al., 1999; León-Cortés et al., 1999; 2000; Conrad et al., 2002; 2004; Thomas et al., 2004; Swaay et al., 2006).”
Insect Declines in the Anthropocene. (2020, background): “In the United Kingdom, two-thirds of the country’s macromoths have declined since 1970, with a quarter of these declines in abundance averaging approximately 10% per decade (28, 29, 48).”
The UK Environmental Change Network: Emerging trends in the composition of plant and animal communities and the physical environment (2009, background): “Analyses for a larger network of traps, over a longer time-series of 35 years did show important changes in the populations of 338 common macro-moths (Conrad et al., 2004; Conrad et al., 2006), highlighting serious conservation concerns for the group.”
Long‐term land‐use changes and extinction of specialised butterflies (2008, background): “In general, factors pointing to restricted range and habitat specialisation increase the risk of extinction as found in other studies (Steffan-Dewenter & Tscharntke, 2000; Conrad et al., 2004; Polus et al., 2007).”
The identification of 100 ecological questions of high policy relevance in the UK (2006, background): “For many species it remains a challenge to understand changes in their status and the factors that have brought about decline (e.g. moths; Conrad et al. 2004).”
Further evidence for a global decline of the entomofauna (2020, background): “Thus, the increasing trends in occupancy among various arthropods in the UK since 1970 (Outhwaite et al. 2020) do not adequately reflect the fate of a large proportion of individual species (Conrad et al. 2004; Brooks et al. 2012; Dennis et al. 2019).”
