全球昆虫数量的减少引起了科学家、政治家和公众的广泛兴趣。昆虫多样性和丰富度的丧失预计将对食物网产生连锁反应,并危及生态系统服务。我们对这种下降的程度和根本原因的理解仅基于单个物种或分类群的丰度,而不是与生态功能更相关的昆虫生物量的变化。在这里,我们使用了一个标准化的协议来衡量昆虫生物量使用Malaise陷阱,部署超过27年,在德国的63个自然保护区(96个独特的位置年组合)推断当地昆虫区系的状态和趋势。我们的分析估计,在27年的研究中,飞行昆虫生物量的季节性下降76%,仲夏下降82%。我们发现,这种下降是明显的,无论栖息地类型,而天气,土地利用和栖息地特征的变化不能解释这种整体下降。在评估依赖昆虫作为食物来源的物种丰度下降以及欧洲景观中的生态系统功能时,必须考虑到这种尚未被认识到的昆虫生物量损失。
Global declines in insects have sparked wide interest among scientists, politicians, and the general public. Loss of insect diversity and abundance is expected to provoke cascading effects on food webs and to jeopardize ecosystem services. Our understanding of the extent and underlying causes of this decline is based on the abundance of single species or taxonomic groups only, rather than changes in insect biomass which is more relevant for ecological functioning. Here, we used a standardized protocol to measure total insect biomass using Malaise traps, deployed over 27 years in 63 nature protection areas in Germany (96 unique location-year combinations) to infer on the status and trend of local entomofauna. Our analysis estimates a seasonal decline of 76%, and mid-summer decline of 82% in flying insect biomass over the 27 years of study. We show that this decline is apparent regardless of habitat type, while changes in weather, land use, and habitat characteristics cannot explain this overall decline. This yet unrecognized loss of insect biomass must be taken into account in evaluating declines in abundance of species depending on insects as a food source, and ecosystem functioning in the European landscape.
