Can roadside habitat lead monarchs on a route to recovery?Journal of Insect Conservation - Tập 20 - Trang 1047-1057 - 2016
Kyle Kasten, Carl Stenoien, Wendy Caldwell, Karen S. Oberhauser
The Eastern North American monarch butterfly population has severely declined
over the past decade. The decreasing availability of larval host plants
(milkweeds) due to the use of herbicide-tolerant crops has been implicated in
this decline. Roadsides could provide additional habitat for monarchs. In this
study we document the occurrence of milkweed and monarchs on roadsides, and
discuss whether r... hiện toàn bộ
Habitat Fragmentation and Burying Beetle Abundance and SuccessJournal of Insect Conservation - Tập 4 - Trang 245-252 - 2000
Stephen T. Trumbo, Philip L. Bloch
Four species of burying beetle (Nicrophorus marginatus F., N. tomentosus Weber,
N. orbicollis Say and N. defodiens Mannerheim) are attracted to small, fresh
mouse carcasses in northern Michigan. The number of burying beetles and their
success (burial of a carcass) were greater in woodlands than in edge or field
habitats. Species diversity was least in open fields as assessed by two
different indic... hiện toàn bộ
Forecasts of butterfly future richness change in the southwest Mediterranean. The role of sampling effort and non-climatic variablesJournal of Insect Conservation - Tập 26 - Trang 639-650 - 2022

We estimated the potential impact of Global Warming on the species richness of
Iberian butterflies. First, we determined the grid size that maximized the
balance between geographic resolution, area coverage and environmental
representativeness. Contemporary richness was modelled in several alternative
ways that differed in how sampling effort was controlled for, and in whether the
non-climatic var... hiện toàn bộ
