Twenty-nine butterfly species are listed on the Annexes of the Habitats Directive. To assist
everyone who wants or needs to take action for one of these species, we compiled an …

The IUCN Red List is the most useful list of species that are at risk for extinction worldwide,
as it relies on a number of objective criteria. Nevertheless, there is a taxonomic bias that …

Aim To quantify spatio‐temporal changes in species richness and assemblage composition
of Danish butterflies over more than 100 years and to assess whether different functional …

The demise of traditional woodland management techniques, such as coppicing or
woodland pasture, is causing a gradual closure of formerly sparse lowland woods across …
