Journal ArticleDOI
The role of 'Big Society' in monitoring the state of the natural environment.
TL;DR: It is argued that in order to ensure that environmental monitoring continues to be effective it is important to learn from examples where volunteers are currently used, acknowledging constraints and identifying potential approaches which will help to maximise both their engagement and data quality.

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the sensitivity of butterfly population dynamics to variation in weather conditions across their geographical ranges, relative to sensitivity to density dependence, and determine whether sensitivity is greater towards latitudinal range margins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scope for strategic ecological assessment of trunk-road development in England with respect to potential impacts on lowland heathland, the Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata) and the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis)
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a SEcA carried out to determine whether currently proposed road developments, when considered collectively, would be compatible with the safeguard of an internationally important and protected wildlife habitat (lowland heathland) and associated protected species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lepidoptera communities across an agricultural gradient: how important are habitat area and habitat diversity in supporting high diversity?
Marc S. Botham,E. C. Fernandez-Ploquin,Tom Brereton,Colin A. Harrower,David B. Roy,Matthew S. Heard +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that larger areas of semi-natural grassland generally support larger numbers and a greater species richness of butterflies and moths, but that the composition of the Lepidoptera fauna changes with habitat size depending on the diversity of habitats in the landscape, particularly at the larger spatial scale.
