Abstract Recent studies hint at consistent declines of insect abundance across taxa. However, detailed data from long-term surveys are rare in ecological studies, and yet are required in order to accurately infer trends and their causes. In the following, we analyse a dataset from pitfall traps sampled at a monthly resolution over a 33-year period (1979-2011) to investigate the activity density and species richness of ground beetles (Carabidae). The study site, an unmanaged xerophytic grassland amidst intensively managed vineyards in South-Western Germany, underwent terracing for viticulture just before data collection began, which led the early community composition to be defined by succession. As this ecological situation initially conflates succession and other long-term trends, we define three successional phases (initial, early, and late), allowing us to separate trends over time. We use a generalised additive modeling approach to factor in the main drivers of the community trends in ground beetles, noticeably vegetation and climate. Both vegetation cover and climatic conditions had a small effect on carabid counts and species richness, and there was a notable decrease in both counts and species richness of 60% and 32%, respectively, during the late successional phase. An analysis of functional traits revealed an overall increase in community weighted mean biomass and a correlation of habitat preference with annual precipitation. Our results add to the growing volume of evidence pointing to a decline in insect populations both in central Europe and globally.

德国西南部 Kaiserstuhl 33 年来每月丰度和物种丰富度的趋势

摘要 最近的研究暗示整个分类群的昆虫丰度持续下降。然而,长期调查的详细数据在生态研究中很少见,但仍需要这些数据才能准确推断趋势及其原因。在下文中,我们分析了在 33 年期间(1979-2011 年)以每月分辨率采样的陷阱陷阱数据集,以调查地甲虫(Carabidae)的活动密度和物种丰富度。该研究地点是位于德国西南部集约化管理的葡萄园中的未经管理的旱生草原,在数据收集开始之前进行了梯田栽培,这导致早期的群落组成由演替定义。由于这种生态状况最初将演替和其他长期趋势混为一谈,我们定义了三个演替阶段(初始、早期和晚期),允许我们随着时间的推移区分趋势。我们使用广义加法建模方法来考虑地甲虫群落趋势的主要驱动因素,尤其是植被和气候。植被覆盖度和气候条件对甲虫数量和物种丰富度的影响较小,在演替后期,数量和物种丰富度分别下降了 60% 和 32%。功能性状分析显示群落加权平均生物量总体增加,栖息地偏好与年降水量之间存在相关性。我们的结果增加了越来越多的证据表明中欧和全球昆虫种群数量下降。我们使用广义加法建模方法来考虑地甲虫群落趋势的主要驱动因素,尤其是植被和气候。植被覆盖度和气候条件对甲虫数量和物种丰富度的影响较小,在演替后期,数量和物种丰富度分别下降了 60% 和 32%。功能性状分析显示群落加权平均生物量总体增加,栖息地偏好与年降水量之间存在相关性。我们的结果增加了越来越多的证据表明中欧和全球昆虫种群数量下降。我们使用广义的加法建模方法来考虑地面甲虫群落趋势的主要驱动因素,尤其是植被和气候。植被覆盖度和气候条件对甲虫数量和物种丰富度的影响较小,在演替后期,数量和物种丰富度分别下降了 60% 和 32%。功能性状分析显示群落加权平均生物量总体增加,栖息地偏好与年降水量之间存在相关性。我们的结果增加了越来越多的证据表明中欧和全球昆虫种群数量下降。植被覆盖度和气候条件对甲虫数量和物种丰富度的影响较小,在演替后期,数量和物种丰富度分别下降了 60% 和 32%。功能性状分析显示群落加权平均生物量总体增加,栖息地偏好与年降水量之间存在相关性。我们的结果增加了越来越多的证据表明中欧和全球昆虫种群数量下降。植被覆盖度和气候条件对甲虫数量和物种丰富度的影响较小,在演替后期,数量和物种丰富度分别下降了 60% 和 32%。功能性状分析显示群落加权平均生物量总体增加,栖息地偏好与年降水量之间存在相关性。我们的结果增加了越来越多的证据表明中欧和全球昆虫种群数量下降。
