Different roles of concurring climate and regional land-use changes in past 40 years’ insect trends - Nature Communications

Drivers of long-term trends in insect populations are usually inferred from space-for-time substitution studies rather than from time-series data. Here, the authors investigate insect trends across a 40-year period in Switzerland and test their linkages with climate change, land use change and their interactions.
