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 …

Seasonal patterns in climatic conditions affect the life cycles and temporal patterns in the
abundance of most temperate insect species. In tropical regions where there is no winter …

In the last decades, there has been a considerable increase in literature concerning
ecological studies employing bait traps to capture butterflies. The growing interest in this …

Insects have diversified through more than 450 million y of Earth's changeable climate, yet
rapidly shifting patterns of temperature and precipitation now pose novel challenges as they …

Studies have reported widespread declines in terrestrial insect abundances in recent years,,–
, but trends in other biodiversity metrics are less clear-cut,–. Here we examined long-term …

The paper presents data on the use of simple crown traps for studying the insect fauna. The
crown trap is a five-litre plastic container with a window cut out on one side of it at a distance …

Coevolutionary models suggest that herbivores drive diversification and community
composition in plants. For herbivores, many questions remain regarding how plant defenses …

Species extinction following habitat loss is well documented. However, these extinctions do
not happen immediately. The biodiversity surplus (extinction debt) declines with some delay …

Aim Temporal dynamics of biodiversity along tropical elevational gradients are unknown.
We studied seasonal changes of Lepidoptera biodiversity along the only complete forest …

Temporal variation and phenology of tropical insect communities and the role of
environmental factors controlling this variation is poorly understood. A better understanding …
