Remote sensing has revolutionised many aspects of ecological research, enabling
spatiotemporal data to be collected in an efficient and highly automated manner. The last …

We review the literature on the influence of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and
movement. We start by examining the definition of landscape commonly used in spatial …

Analyses of species' population losses typically show a dichotomy between strongly
affected, rare, and localized species and apparently unaffected, common, and widespread …

Western monarch butterflies dropped by~ 97% of their average historic abundance between
the 1980s and mid-2010s. In winter 2018–2019, the population plummeted even farther, to …

Targeted conservation and promotion of wild bees in agroecosystems requires
understanding of relationships between different groups of bees and available floral …

The increasing spread of invasive alien plants has changed biodiversity throughout the
world. To date research in this area has focused on how invasive plant species affect …

Trait-based analyses explaining the different responses of species and communities to
environmental changes are increasing in frequency. European butterflies are an indicator …

Minimum patch size criteria for habitat protection reflect the conservation principle that a
single large (SL) patch of habitat has higher biodiversity than several small (SS) patches of …

Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs)–short lived resources including dung, carrion,
temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi–are found throughout every …

Insects do not live in isolation. They interact with the abiotic environment and are major
components of the terrestrial and freshwater biotic milieus. They are crucial to so many …
