Müller et al. re‐analysed published data on temporal variation in insect biomass in Germany
between 1989 and 2016, with a focus on modelling the effects of weather conditions on …

Recently reported insect declines have raised both political and social concern. Although
the declines have been attributed to land use and climate change, supporting evidence …

Reports of major losses in insect biodiversity have stimulated an increasing interest in
temporal population changes. Existing datasets are often limited to a small number of study …

An accumulating number of studies are reporting severe insect declines. These studies aim
to quantify temporal changes in invertebrate populations and community composition and …

There is mounting concern over the conservation status and long‐term trends in insect
populations. Many insect populations have been reported to be falling and many species …

Dramatic insect declines, and their consequences for ecosystems globally, have received
considerable attention recently. Yet, it is still poorly known if ecological and life‐history traits …

Insects have a pivotal role in ecosystem function, thus the decline of more than 75% in insect
biomass in protected areas over recent decades in Central Europe and elsewhere, has …

Climate and land-use changes are main drivers of insect declines, but their combined effects
have not yet been quantified over large spatiotemporal scales. We analysed changes in the …

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 …

Climate change has had well‐documented impacts on the distribution and phenology of
species across many taxa, but impacts on species' abundance, which relates closely to …
