Severe decline in terrestrial insect species richness, abundance, flying biomass, and local
extinctions across Europe are cause for alarm. Here, we summarize this decline, and identify …

Here we build on the manifesto 'World Scientists' Warning to Humanity, issued by the
Alliance of World Scientists. As a group of conservation biologists deeply concerned about …

Ecological intensification (EI) could help return agriculture into a 'safe operating space'for
humanity. Using a novel application of meta-analysis to data from 30 long-term experiments …

In recent decades, entomologists have documented alarming declines in occurrence,
taxonomic richness, and geographic range of insects around the world. Additionally, some …

Abstract We evaluated the “4 per 1000” initiative for increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) by
analysing rates of SOC increase in treatments in 16 long‐term experiments in southeast …

Many pollinating insects, across taxa and regions, have declined during the twentieth
century. Amongst the drivers of these trends, soil eutrophication and acidification caused by …

Research into insect decline over the years indicates increased funding is required for long
term monitoring and more research to support sustainable agriculture. Planning authorities …

Steep insect biomass declines (or 'insectageddon') have been widely reported, 23 despite a
lack of continuously-collected biomass data from replicated long-24 term monitoring sites …

Understanding the changes in plant–microbe interactions is critically important for predicting
ecosystem functioning in response to human‐induced environmental changes such as …

Advances in phenology (the annual timing of species' life-cycles) in response to climate
change are generally viewed as bioindicators of climate change, but have not been …
