Reports of major losses in insect biodiversity have stimulated an increasing interest in temporal population changes. Existing datasets are often limited to a small number of study sites, few points in time, a narrow range of land-use intensities and only some taxonomic groups, or they lack standardised sampling. While new monitoring programs have been initiated, they still cover rather short time periods.

Interactive Effects of Lake Morphometry and Sticklebacks on the Trophic Position of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) across Lakes in Western Greenland Arranz, Ignasi; Davidson, Thomas Alexander; Benejam, Lluís; Brucet, Sandra; Sánchez-Hernández, Javier; Landkildehus, Frank; Lauridsen, Torben; Mazzeo, Nestor; Vidal, Nicolas; Özkan, Korhan; Gallego, Irene; Wischnewski, Juliane; Menezes, Rosemberg; Shurkhuu, Tserenpil; Jeppesen, Erik (2022-01-01) The structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems have been drastically modified by global warming, with fish species potentially performing habitat shifts such as the northern expansion of generalist and warm-adapted species. The freshwater fish species Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus, hereafter charr) plays a key role in Arctic lake food webs, but sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) may impact the trophic position (TP) of charr by affecting their habitat choice and food resources. In the present study...
Arthropod decline in grasslands and forests is associated with landscape-level drivers Seibold, Sebastian; Gossner, Martin M.; Simons, Nadja K.; Bluethgen, Nico; Mueller, Joerg; Ambarlı, Didem; Ammer, Christian; Bauhus, Juergen; Fischer, Markus; Habel, Jan C.; Linsenmair, Karl Eduard; Nauss, Thomas; Penone, Caterina; Prati, Daniel; Schall, Peter; Schulze, Ernst-Detlef; Vogt, Juliane; Woellauer, Stephan; Weisser, Wolfgang W. (2019-10-01) Recent reports of local extinctions of arthropod species(1), and of massive declines in arthropod biomass(2), point to land-use intensification as a major driver of decreasing biodiversity. However, to our knowledge, there are no multisite time series of arthropod occurrences across gradients of land-use intensity with which to confirm causal relationships. Moreover, it remains unclear which land-use types and arthropod groups are affected, and whether the observed declines in biomass and diversity are link...
End-To-End Models for the Analysis of Marine Ecosystems: Challenges, Issues, and Next Steps Rose, Kenneth A.; et. al. (2010-01-01) There is growing interest in models of marine ecosystems that deal with the effects of climate change through the higher trophic levels. Such end-to-end models combine physicochemical oceanographic descriptors and organisms ranging from microbes to higher-trophic-level (HTL) organisms, including humans, in a single modeling framework. The demand for such approaches arises from the need for quantitative tools for ecosystem-based management, particularly models that can deal with bottom-up and top-down contro...
Overcoming basis risk in agricultural index insurance using crop simulation modeling and satellite crop phenology Hesamı Afshar, Mehdı; Foster, Timothy; P. Higginbottom, Thomas; Parkes, Ben; Hufkens, Koen; Mansabdar, Sanjay; Ceballos, Francisco; Kramer, Berber (2021-04-19) Extreme weather causes substantial damage to livelihoods of smallholder farmers globally and are projected to become more frequent in the coming decades as a result of climate change. Index insurance can theoretically help farmers to adapt and mitigate the risks posed by extreme weather events, providing a financial safety net in the event of crop damage or harvest failure. However, uptake of index insurance in practice has lagged far behind expectations. A key reason is that many existing index insurance p...
Ecological impacts of freshwater algal blooms on water quality, plankton biodiversity, structure, and ecosystem functioning Alves Amorım, Cıhelıo; Moura, Ariadne do Nascimento (2021-03-01) Harmful algal blooms are among the emerging threats to freshwater biodiversity that need to be studied further in the Anthropocene. Here, we studied freshwater plankton communities in ten tropical reservoirs to record the impact of algal blooms, comprising different phytoplankton taxa, on water quality, plankton biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. We compared water quality parameters (water transparency, mixing depth, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved inorganic nitrogen, total dissolved phosphorus...
