Meta-analysis reveals declines in terrestrial but increases in freshwater insect abundances
Recent case studies showing substantial declines of insect abundances have raised alarm,
but how widespread such patterns are remains unclear. We compiled data from 166 long …

Ecosystem birth near melting glaciers: a review on the pioneer role of ground-dwelling arthropods
Simple Summary Due to climate change, glaciers are retreating. On newly deglaciated
ground, ecosystems gradually evolve through the process of primary succession. This gives …
