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.

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 ...

Local species richness of parasitoid wasps (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) in Afrotropical forest: Conservation perspectives

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using extensive Malaise trapping, we collected a high richness of Pimplinae (86 species, 5892 individuals) in habitat types across a successional gradient. We found higher richness in forest than in nearby farmland, highlighting the importance of tropical forest in conserving parasitoid wasp richness.

Native insect species should be selected for classroom rearings

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Rearing insects in the school classroom can build positive attitudes towards insects among schoolchildren, which is becoming increasingly important as insect populations decline. Identified frequent use of non‐native insect species, raising environmental and ethical concerns after classroom rearing ends.
