Increased arthropod biomass, abundance and species richness in an agricultural landscape after 32 years

Julia Fuerst et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown declines in arthropod biomass, abundance, and species diversity, raising concerns for research and conservation. However, long-term repeated surveys of arthropods are rare. In this study, arthropod fauna was sampled over 32 years in a Swiss agricultural landscape, and the results showed an increase in biomass, abundance, and species richness in 2019 compared to previous years. Factors such as improved habitat quality, stable landscape composition, and climate warming likely contributed to these positive trends. The findings highlight the context-dependency and complexity of arthropod community changes over time.

Scientists' warning on climate change and insects

Jeffrey A. Harvey et al.

Summary: Climate warming is a serious anthropogenic stress on the environment, exacerbating the harmful effects of other threats and potentially threatening species preservation and ecosystem services provided by biodiversity. Insects, as central components of many ecosystems, are highly affected by climate change, with effects on physiology, behavior, distribution, and interactions, as well as extreme events.

Consistent signals of a warming climate in occupancy changes of three insect taxa over 40 years in central Europe

Eva Katharina Engelhardt et al.

Summary: Recent climate and land-use changes are impacting biodiversity, causing population declines, range shifts, and changes in community composition. This study compares the occupancy changes in butterflies, grasshoppers, and dragonflies driven by climate and land-use over a 40-year period in Bavaria, Germany. The study finds that temperature preference and habitat specificity are significant drivers of species trends, with cold-adapted species and habitat specialists declining, and warm-adapted species and generalists increasing.

Agriculture and climate change are reshaping insect biodiversity worldwide

Charlotte L. Outhwaite et al.

Summary: This study investigates changes in insect biodiversity and their drivers, and finds that the interaction between historical climate warming and intensive agricultural land use is associated with reductions in insect abundance and species richness. High availability of nearby natural habitat can mitigate the negative effects of agricultural land use and climate warming on insect biodiversity, but only in low-intensity agricultural systems.

Different roles of concurring climate and regional land-use changes in past 40 years' insect trends

Felix Neff et al.

Summary: Climate and land-use changes are the main drivers of insect declines in Switzerland. The distribution of 390 insect species showed strong increases and decreases over a 40-year period. Climate warming was strongly linked to 40-year changes in insect trends, while short-term changes were influenced by both climate and regional land-use changes.

Recent trends in stream macroinvertebrates: warm-adapted and pesticide-tolerant taxa increase in richness

Friederike Gebert et al.

Summary: Recent studies have reported both decreases and increases in insect richness. In this study, nationwide monitoring data from Switzerland was analyzed to understand trends and underlying mechanisms. The results showed that the richness of aquatic insects remained stable or increased, with warm-adapted and pesticide-tolerant taxa showing increasing patterns. Climate and land-use factors were identified as important explanatory variables.

Long-term abundance trends of insect taxa are only weakly correlated

Roel van Klink et al.

Summary: Changes in animal abundances are often assumed to be general across taxa, but this assumption has not been properly tested. This study compared abundance trends among co-occurring pairs of insects and arachnids and found that while qualitative trends were similar, magnitudes of changes were weakly correlated. No clear umbrella or indicator taxa were identified. Monitoring multiple taxa is necessary to understand changes in insect abundances.

Insights from regional and short-term biodiversity monitoring datasets are valuable: a reply to Daskalova et al. 2021

Sebastian Seibold et al.

Summary: Existing datasets on insect biodiversity are often limited, and while new monitoring programs have been initiated, they still cover rather short time periods. Some researchers argue that temporal trends of insect populations derived from short time series are biased towards extreme trends, while others suggest that there is no overall decline in insect population.

Insects and recent climate change

Christopher A. Halsch et al.

Summary: Insects have adapted to Earth's changing climate over millions of years, but recent climate change and anthropogenic pressures pose new challenges. Research shows that the impact of climate change on insects can be significant compared to changes in land use. A case study on butterflies in Northern California highlights the complexity of montane-adapted insects responding to changing abiotic conditions.

Insect biomass decline scaled to species diversity: General patterns derived from a hoverfly community

Caspar A. Hallmann et al.

Summary: The study reveals a correlation between declines in flying insect biomass, hoverfly abundance, and species richness, with rare species showing expected decline rates. This suggests that large declines in insect biomass may predict declines in insect diversity.

Influence of land use change on rove beetle diversity: A systematic review and global meta-analysis of a mega-diverse insect group

Diana M. M. Mendez-Rojas et al.

Summary: The response of rove beetles to different types of land use varies, with density and richness decreasing in crops and pastures while urban zones exhibit diversity similar to some native habitats. The extent of response varies among biogeographic regions and is related to the life history traits of the species in the beetle communities.

Insect biomass is not a consistent proxy for biodiversity metrics in wild bees

Nicolas J. Vereecken et al.

Summary: Recent studies have highlighted significant declines in aerial insect populations, but measuring insect biomass may not fully capture the intricacies of changes in insect community structure. However, phylogenetic diversity metrics show consistent patterns across habitats and could serve as a proxy for measuring PD in wild bees.

Relationship of insect biomass and richness with land use along a climate gradient

Johannes Uhler et al.

Summary: The study reveals that differences in insect biomass and richness depend on context, with urbanization and agriculture identified as major drivers of decline; richness and biomass increase with temperature but are not suitable as mutual surrogates. Comprehensive measures for habitat restoration are recommended to halt insect declines.

A century of social wasp occupancy trends from natural history collections: spatiotemporal resolutions have little effect on model performance

Galina M. Jonsson et al.

Summary: This study tested the long-term occupancy trends of three social wasp species in England using occupancy models, and found that these models can effectively yield species-specific trends from sparse natural history collection specimens. The common wasp and German wasp showed stable occupancy trends, while the European hornet's occupancy decreased from 1950 to 1970 and increased afterwards. Additionally, it was demonstrated that coarsening the spatial grain is an appropriate method for estimating long-term changes in species occupancy.
