the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Nature is under siege. In the last 10,000 y the human population has grown from 1 million to
7.8 billion. Much of Earth's arable lands are already in agriculture (1), millions of acres of …

Fruit development is essential for flowering plants' reproduction and a significant food
source. Climate change threatens fruit yields due to its impact on pollination and fertilization …

Insects provide critical ecosystem services such as biological pest control, in which natural
enemies (NE) regulate the populations of crop-feeding herbivores (H). While H-NE …

Insects are declining, but the underlying drivers and differences in responses between
species are still largely unclear. Despite the importance of forests, insect trends therein have …

Studies have reported widespread declines in terrestrial insect abundances in recent years,,–
, but trends in other biodiversity metrics are less clear-cut,–. Here we examined long-term …

Beyond climate change, the planet faces several other environmental challenges that are at
least as threatening, such as the loss of biodiversity. In each case, the problems are driven …

To study insect decline, an important threat to biodiversity, long‐term datasets are needed.
Here we present a study of hoverfly (Diptera: Syrphidae) abundance and diversity in a Dutch …

Human activities cause substantial changes in biodiversity. 1, 2 Despite ongoing concern
about the implications of invertebrate decline, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 few empirical studies have …

Widespread and significant declines of insect population abundances and biomass are
currently one of the most pressing issues in entomology, ecology and conservation biology …
