What do we know about insect responses to global change? A review of meta‐analyses on global change drivers

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We reviewed 75 meta‐analyses examining the effects of global change stressors on insects. We found that most global change stressors harm insects, with pesticides having the highest proportion of negative effects. Global change more frequently caused harm to higher trophic levels and beneficial insects, whereas herbivores were less often harmed.

Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.

eDNA metabarcoding of archived leaf samples reveals arthropod diversity decline in South Korean but not in German forest ecosystems

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Environmental samples from the South Korean (A) and German (B) Environmental Specimen Banks were analysed regarding long‐term trends in canopy‐associated arthropod communities over 11 years. Samples of both Environmental Specimen Banks showed tree species‐specific arthropod communities that were significantly different from other tree species ...

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...
