NEW PAPER! And what a challenging one. It has taught us a lot about how we can understand the impacts of pressures on insects, and I hope we can continue to add to it into the future. Another great output from the @glitrs.bsky.social GLiTRS project team 🌍 🐝 🐜 🦋 🐞
New paper! Today introducing a 'multi-threat meta-analytic database for understanding insect biodiversity change', an output from the @glitrs.bsky.social project (see glitrs.ceh.ac.uk).

A Multithreat Meta‐Analytic Database for Understanding Insect Biodiversity Change
Aim Widespread declines in insect biodiversity have been attributed to a diverse set of anthropogenic drivers, but the relative importance of these drivers remains unclear. A key reason for this unc...

Bumble Bee Probability of Occurrence Responds to Interactions Between Local and Landscape Land Use, Climatic Niche Properties and Climate Change
We analyse a collation of bumble bee presence and absence data from across the continents of Western Europe and North America, spanning both natural and human-modified habitats. We find that bumble b....

Grizzled Skipper (Pyrgus malvae) had its worst year on record in the UK in 2024. It numbers at @ukbms.bsky.social monitored sites have been below average now in 20 of the last 25 years. Since 1976, its population has decreased by 49% (📷Mark Searle)

NEWS: Despite fears about insect declines, we know very little about 99% of species globally 🌍📉.
Scientists are proposing a new approach to get a more complete picture of insect populations and analyse how they are responding to threats.
