The role of the North Atlantic Oscillation in controlling U.K. butterfly population size and phenology
TL;DR: This study investigates the impact of the NAO on butterfly abundance and phenology using 34 years of data from the U.K. Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of trends in butterfly populations between monitoring schemes

TL;DR: In this article, the wider countryside butterfly survey (WCBS) was developed with a stratified-random sample of survey sites across the UK and compared butterfly trends from the WCBS locations against those measured from traditional butterfly transects which are typically located in areas of good quality semi-natural habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pitfalls of ecological forecasting
Tom H. Oliver,David B. Roy +1 more
TL;DR: Different forecasting methods are appraised with a particular focus on the modelling of species populations, showing how simple extrapolation of current trends in state is often inadequate and how a high goodness-of-fit for models used to calibrate data is not sufficient for good forecasting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overcoming the challenges of public data archiving for citizen science biodiversity recording and monitoring schemes
James W. Pearce-Higgins,Stephen R. Baillie,Katherine L. Boughey,Nigel A. D. Bourn,Ruud P. B. Foppen,Simon Gillings,Richard D. Gregory,Richard D. Gregory,Tom Hunt,Frédéric Jiguet,Aleksi Lehikoinen,Andy J. Musgrove,Robert A. Robinson,David B. Roy,Gavin M. Siriwardena,Kevin J. Walker,Jeremy D. Wilson +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the challenges of public data archiving for large-scale citizen science biodiversity recording and monitoring schemes are discussed. But the authors do not consider the impact on the participation of some volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Abundances of Species in Protected Areas in Parts of their Geographic Distributions Colonized during a Recent Period of Climatic Change
Phillipa K. Gillingham,Phillipa K. Gillingham,Jamie Alison,Jamie Alison,David B. Roy,Richard Fox,Chris D. Thomas +6 more
TL;DR: PAs play a vital role in the conservation of biodiversity as species’ ranges become more dynamic, and species with relatively high abundances inside PAs in long-established parts of their distributions were also disproportionately associated with P as in recently colonized regions, revealing a set of relatively PA-reliant species.
