Large-scale declines in terrestrial insects have been reported over much of Europe and across the world, however, population change assessments other key invertebrate groups, such as soil invertebrates, largely neglected through a lack available monitoring data. This study collates historic data from previously published studies to assess whether it is possible infer undocumented long-term changes abundance. Earthworm tipulid were collated 100 UK, spanning almost years. Analyses suggested...
Abstract There have been recent renewed commitments to increase the extent of protected areas combat growing biodiversity crisis but underpinning evidence for their effectiveness is mixed and causal connections are rarely evaluated. We used data gathered by three large-scale citizen science programmes in UK provide most comprehensive assessment date whether national (Sites Special Scientific Interest) European (Special Protection Areas/Special Areas Conservation) designated associated with...
The Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework calls for at least 30% of land and sea to be protected by 2030. Whilst there is growing evidence that areas can benefit biodiversity, achieve the greatest possible gains from their expansion, we must understand how area quality impacts upon biodiversity metrics. We used UK BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey data condition national Common Standards Monitoring, test whether improving site (for which are policy targets) would contribute stated targets...
Abstract Reversing the global biodiversity crisis requires not only conservation and management of species, but habitats in which they live. However, while there is a long history recording, especially Europe, information on less frequently recorded meaning knowledge their extent quality generally poor. In part, this because recording sometimes complex features that differentiate has traditionally been done by trained professionals at limited number sites. both Earth Observation methods...
