Abstract Climate change is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. While range shifts are known consequence of climate warming contributing regional community change, less about how species’ positions shift within their climatic niches. Furthermore, whether the relative importance different variables prompting such varies with changing remains unclear. Here we analysed four decades data for 1,478 species birds, mammals, butterflies, moths, plants and phytoplankton along 1,200 km high latitudinal...
Abstract Species can adapt to climate change by adjusting in situ or dispersing new areas, and these strategies may complement enhance each other. Here, we investigate temporal shifts phenology spatial northern range boundaries for 289 Lepidoptera species using long‐term data sampled over two decades. While 40% of the neither advanced nor moved northward, nearly half (45%) used one strategies. The strongest positive population trends were observed minority (15%) that both flight shifted...
Aim An increase in multivoltinism ectothermic animals has been proposed by several authors as a possible outcome of climate warming, especially high latitudes. We tested this prediction with large-scale empirical monitoring data for boreal moth communities. Location Finland, northern Europe. Methods Our set comprised observations multivoltine species made the Finnish scheme 'Nocturna' trap sites during period 1993–2006 along an exceptionally long latitudinal gradient 1000 km. To compare...
Abstract Dramatic insect declines, and their consequences for ecosystems globally, have received considerable attention recently. Yet, it is still poorly known if ecological life‐history traits can explain declines whether decline occurs also at high latitudes. Insects' diversity abundance are dramatically lower latitudes compared to the tropics, insects might benefit from climate warming in high‐latitude environments. We adopted a trait‐ biomass‐based approach estimate temporal change...
Understanding the movement patterns of organisms is crucial for effective biodiversity conservation in increasingly dynamic and fragmented landscapes. Since colonization habitat patches relies largely on females, sex differences capability must also be considered. However, obtaining direct measurements mobility dispersal, biases these traits, often challenging. This underscores importance predicting sex‐specific estimates based species' functional traits. Our phylogenetic comparative study...
Abstract Aim Biodiversity is currently undergoing rapid restructuring across the globe. However, nature of biodiversity change not well understood, as community‐level changes may hide differential responses in individual population trajectories. Here, we quantify spatio‐temporal community and stability dynamics using a long‐term high‐quality moth monitoring dataset. Location Finland, Northern Europe. Time period 1993–2012. Major taxa studied Nocturnal moths (Lepidoptera). Methods We...
Abstract The magnitude and direction of phenological shifts from climate warming could be predictably variable across the planet depending upon nature physiological controls on phenology, thermal sensitivity developmental processes global patterns in warming. We tested this with respect to flight phenology adult nocturnal moths (3.33 million captures 334 species) that were sampled at sites southern northern Finland during 1993–2012 (with years 2005–2012 treated as an independent model...
Four different combinations of light-traps and bulbs were tested during the summer 1996 in Kainuu, northern Finland: a Jalas model with 160-W (J/160W) blended light lamp or 125-W (J/125W) mercury vapour lamp, Ryrholm trap (R/125W) Rothamsted 200-W tungsten (G/200W). The traps rotated between four sites every night, but kept same position for fifth night order to prevent possible influence moonlight. longest distance was 150m, there no direct visibility any them. Three orders inspected, i.e....
Abstract Application of remote sensing datasets in modelling phenology heterotrophic animals has received little attention. In this work, we compare the predictive power versus temperature‐derived variables peak flight periods herbivorous insects, as exemplified by nocturnal moths. Moth observations consisted weekly five focal moth species ( Orthosia gothica , Ectropis crepuscularia Cabera exanthemata Dysstroma citrata and Operophtera brumata ) gathered a national monitoring scheme Finland....
Anthropogenic climate change poses a challenge to the annual cycles of migratory birds. It has become urgent understand whether birds are able advance their spring phenology when is warming and they adjust these phenological phases in breeding areas. In this work, we studied long‐term trends first arrival onset for three passerine eastern Finland; pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca , common redstart Phoenicurus phoenicurus great tit Parus major . The long‐distance migrants while partial...
Insect declines are raising alarms regarding cascading effects on ecosystems, especially as many insectivorous bird populations also declining. Here, we leveraged long-term monitoring datasets across Finland to investigate trophic dynamics between functional groups of moths and birds in forested habitats. We reveal a positive association the biomass adult- or egg-overwintering biomasses resident long-distance migrant reliant caterpillars breeding-season food north-boreal zone. Contrary...
Spatially distinct pairs of sites may have similarly fluctuating population dynamics across large geographical distances, a phenomenon called spatial synchrony. However, species rarely exist in isolation, but rather as members interactive communities, linked with other communities through dispersal (i.e. metacommunity). Using data on Finnish moth sampled 65 for 20 years, we examine the complex synchronous/anti-synchronous relationships among using geography synchrony framework. We relate...
Abstract Aim Species occupying a greater fraction of habitat patches tend to also be more locally abundant. The relationship between the occupied and mean abundance (i.e. occupancy–abundance relationships) are common macroecological observation, though they far from ubiquitous. aim this work was examine relationships in large set Finnish moth species, determine sensitivity strength sign these estimation approach temporal sampling scale. Location Finland. Taxa Lepidoptera. Methods Using data...
Little life history data is available on the larvae of Adelidae (Lepidoptera, Adeloidea). We provide information Nemophora bellela (Walker, 1863), a circumpolar adelid species occurring in northern Europe peat bogs and open tundra with Betula nana. The habitat described details larval behavior diet are provided. later instar case dwelling feed ground detritus. chaetotaxy detail. female pupal exuviae described. Our observations N. general agreement known related species, but some differences...
<title>Abstract</title> As the climate warms, species are shifting their ranges to match climatic niches, leading warming of ecological communities (thermophilisation). We currently have little understanding population-level processes driving this community-level warming, particularly at rapidly high latitudes. Using 30 years high-resolution moth monitoring data across a 1,200 km latitudinal gradient in Finland, we found that higher latitude experiencing more rapid thermophilisation....
