International scientists formulate a roadmap for insect conservation and recovery
Harvey, Jeffrey A.; Heinen, Robin; Armbrecht, Inge; Basset, Yves; Baxter-Gilbert, James H.; Bezemer, T. Martijn; Böhm, Monika; Bommarco, RiccardoA growing number of studies are providing evidence that a suite of anthropogenic stressors — habitat loss and fragmentation, pollution, invasive species, climate change and overharvesting — are seriously reducing insect and other invertebrate abundance, diversity and biomass across the biosphere. These declines affect all functional groups: herbivores, detritivores, parasitoids, predators and pollinators. Insec...
Soil eutrophication shaped the composition of pollinator assemblages during the...
Carvalheiro, Luisa G.; Biesmeijer, Jacobus C.; Franzén, Markus; Aguirre‐Gutiérrez, Jesús; Garibaldi, Lucas A.; Helm, Aveliina; Michez, DenisAtmospheric nitrogen deposition and other sources of environmental eutrophication have increased substantially over the past century worldwide, notwithstanding the recent declining trends in Europe. Despite the recognized susceptibility of plants to eutrophication, few studies evaluated how impacts propagate to consumers, such as pollinators. Here we aim to test if soil eutrophication contributes to the tempora...
