Insect population trends and the IUCN Red List process (2018)
Journal Article
Fox, R., Harrower, C. A., Bell, J. R., Shortall, C. R., Middlebrook, I., & Wilson, R. J. (2018). Insect population trends and the IUCN Red List process. Journal of Insect Conservation, 23, 269–278. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-018-0117-1

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 evidence for such assessments, but imperfect sampling (observation... Read More about Insect population trends and the IUCN Red List process.

Dynamic selection of environmental variables to improve the prediction of aphid phenology: A machine learning approach (2018)
Journal Article
Holloway, P., Kudenko, D., & Bell, J. R. (2018). Dynamic selection of environmental variables to improve the prediction of aphid phenology: A machine learning approach. Ecological Indicators, 88, 512-521. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.10.032

Insect pests now pose a greater threat to crop production given the recent emergence of insecticide resistance, the removal of effective compounds from the market (e.g. neonicotinoids) and the changing climate that promotes successful overwintering a...
