Local entomologists shine a light on moth communities: The value of amateur records in cataloguing long‐term change

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Written records associated with museum collections are often underutilised. We use two new macro‐moth collections donated to the University Museum of Zoology (Cambridge) to investigate long‐term change in the United Kingdom. The new collection contained over 32,000 specimens and had an unusually high proportion of larvae/pupae compared to the main ...

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Spreading of recently introduced North American sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) threatens European native dry grassland arthropods

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The effects of sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus) invasion on arthropods depended on its density and varied between habitat types and arthropod groups. Vegetation‐dwelling, primarily herbivorous orthopterans and true bugs were most sensitive to invasion. Sand dropseed negatively affected the arthropod species of high natural value.
