Gibbons,Chiara Giorio,Vincenzo Girolami,Dave Goulson,David P. Kreutzweiser,Christian H. Krupke,Matthias Liess,Elizabeth Y. Long,Melanie McField,Pierre Mineau,Edward A. D. Mitchell,Christy A.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the global literature explores these risks and show a growing body of evidence that persistent, low concentrations of these insecticides pose serious risks of undesirable environmental impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rare species, the coincidence of diversity hotspots and conservation strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the extent to which species-rich areas for different taxa coincide and whether rare species occur in, and therefore benefit from the conservation of, species rich habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing indicators for European birds
Richard D. Gregory,Arco J. van Strien,Petr Vorisek,Adriaan W. Gmelig Meyling,David G. Noble,Ruud P. B. Foppen,David W. Gibbons +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the farmland bird indicator is a useful surrogate for trends in other elements of biodiversity in this habitat, and developed statistical methods to calculate supranational, multi-species indices using population data from national annual breeding bird surveys in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population declines and range contractions among lowland farmland birds in Britain
Robert J. Fuller,Richard D. Gregory,David W. Gibbons,J. H. Marchant,Jeremy D. Wilson,Stephen R. Baillie,N. Carter +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used extensive atlas and census data to assess trends in the distribution and population levels of birds on lowland farmland in Britain between the late 1960s and early 1990s.

TL;DR: The use of neonicotinoides and fipronil has been extensively studied in the literature as discussed by the authors, with a total of 20,000 tonnes of active in 2010.
