How complete are insect inventories? An assessment of the british butterfly database highlighting the influence of dynamic distribution shifts on sampling completeness

David Sanchez-Fernandez et al.

Summary: Recent research on insect biodiversity decline focused on the database of Great Britain butterfly occurrences, where only 62% of cells had complete inventories at the finest scale evaluated. The dynamic nature of butterfly distributions in response to climate change could explain this result. The extensive information collected in Great Britain about butterflies is not sufficient to provide a complete picture, indicating the need for other techniques to understand global biodiversity loss.

A complete inventory of North American butterfly occurrence data: narrowing data gaps, but increasing bias

Vaughn Shirey et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant under-sampling in butterfly inventories in North America, with community science observations filling more gaps in sampling but showing a bias towards areas with higher human footprint. Additionally, both types of observations exhibit familial-level taxonomic completeness biases.

The decline of butterflies in Europe: Problems, significance, and possible solutions

Martin S. Warren et al.

Summary: The study reveals a widespread trend of butterfly extinction and decline in Europe, primarily due to habitat loss, degradation, and chemical pollution. Climate change poses new threats to butterfly populations, but there are potential conservation solutions that could be implemented to address these challenges.

A window to the world of global insect declines: Moth biodiversity trends are complex and heterogeneous

David L. Wagner et al.

Summary: Moths are experiencing alarming decreases in abundance and diversity across Europe, but not in all regions like Ecuador and Arizona. Specialist moths are declining faster than generalist ones, with specific traits and habitats associated with higher risks. The most important stressors for moth declines include habitat loss due to human activities and climate change.
