以前的研究推断城市化对昆虫保护的负面影响是随着建筑面积的增加而减少的物种丰富度。这是第一项研究，调查城市化决定的昆虫灭绝，使用隐藏的文献数据和博物馆收藏的长期时间数据集。对罗马城市中的四类昆虫进行了分析：蝴蝶、食粪的金龟子、非食粪的金龟子和拟步甲。从1885年到1999年灭绝趋势的重建表明，物种丰富度的下降令人印象深刻，根据每个昆虫群体的生态特征的差异。在这项研究中获得的结果表明，昆虫保护计划应涉及一个彻底的评估，保护关注的物种受益于城市地区的绿色空间，然后确定重要的网站和适当的措施，人口管理。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Previous studies deduced negative effects of urbanization on insect conservation from decline in species richness with increasing built-up areas. This is the first study that investigates insect extinction determined by urbanization using a long-time temporal data set from hidden literature data and museum collections. Analyses were conducted for four insect groups in urban Rome: butterflies, coprophagous scarabaeids, non-coprophagous scarabaeids and tenebrionids. A reconstruction of extinction trends from 1885 to 1999 indicates impressive declines in species richness, with differences according to the ecological characteristics of each insect group. Results obtained in this study suggest that insect conservation programs should involve a thorough assessment of which species of conservation concern benefit from green spaces in urban areas, and then the identification of important sites and appropriate measures for population management.
