Are insects declining and at what rate? An analysis of standardised, systematic catches of aphid and moth abundances across Great Britain (2020)
Journal Article
Bell, J., Blumgart, D., & Shortall, C. (2020). Are insects declining and at what rate? An analysis of standardised, systematic catches of aphid and moth abundances across Great Britain. Insect Conservation and Diversity, 13(2), 115-126. https://doi.org/10.1111/icad.12412

Although we have known anecdotally that insects have been declining in Great Britain for more than 100 years, insect declines have only been statistically estimated over the last 20 years. Estimation of the rate of those declines is still hotly debat... Read More about Are insects declining and at what rate?
