1. Population declines among insects are inadequately quantified, yet of vital importance to
national and global biodiversity assessments and have significant implications for …

1. Insects have emerged as causes célèbres for widespread concern about human effects
on global biodiversity. Here, we consider how insects provide opportunities both to …

Large volumes of data have been collected to document the many ways that ecological
systems are responding to changing environmental drivers. A general buy-in on solutions to …

There is growing concern that biodiversity loss in European agricultural landscapes is
having negative effects on functional trait diversity. Long-term studies examining vegetation …

We compiled published and newly-obtained data on the directly-measured atmospheric
deposition of total phosphorus (TP), filtered total phosphorus (FTP), and inorganic …

Carabid beetles are important functional components of many terrestrial ecosystems. Here,
we describe the first long‐term, wide‐scale and quantitative assessment of temporal …

Many species are extending their leading-edge (cool) range margins polewards in response
to recent climate change. In the present study, we investigated range margin changes at the …

Cereal fields are central to balancing food production and environmental health in the face
of climate change. Within them, invertebrates provide key ecosystem services. Using 42 …

Dynamics in the rate of compositional change (rate-of-change; RoC), preserved in
paleoecological sequences, are thought to reflect changes due to exogenous (climate and …

Reliable assessment of extinction risk is a key factor in the preparation of Red Lists and in
prioritizing biodiversity conservation. Temporal population trends can provide important …
