Is light pollution driving moth population declines? A review of causal mechanisms across the life cycle
The night‐time environment is increasingly being lit, often by broad‐spectrum lighting, and
there is growing evidence that artificial light at night (ALAN) has consequences for …

Climate change vulnerability assessment of species
Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective
strategies to conserve them. The last three decades have seen exponential growth in the …

A window to the world of global insect declines: Moth biodiversity trends are complex and heterogeneous
Moths are the most taxonomically and ecologically diverse insect taxon for which there exist
considerable time-series abundance data. There is an alarming record of decreases in moth …

The projected effect on insects, vertebrates, and plants of limiting global warming to 1.5 C rather than 2 C
In the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the United Nations is pursuing efforts to limit
global warming to 1.5° C, whereas earlier aspirations focused on a 2° C limit. With current …
